Pretty much anyone can book a trip, but not everyone can plan a perfect adventure that’s affordable, accommodating, and fun for everyone in your group. At TripsInsider.com, we have a powerful tool, Travel Comparison, which aims to provide you with the best insider secrets in the travel business. Here are some insider tips that we’d like to share with you about Hotels.
Check Distances on a Map
It is not uncommon for hotels to slightly exaggerate (夸大) the time and distance of getting to the attractions around town. If being close to a particular airport or landmark is important for your trip, check distances on Maps before you book a hotel.
Skip the Package Deals
To attract new guests, some hotels will offer themed package deals that sound exciting but may not be worth it. Just know that sometimes these packages include things you don’t even want or need and that the special rate could be higher than the regular rate.
Understand Room Preferences Aren’t Guaranteed
Hotel bookings include preferences like bed size and the number of beds. But in many hotels, travelers should know that these preferences aren’t guaranteed. You’ll usually get what you asked for, but not always.
Mention Special Occasions
Many of us travel for birthdays, anniversaries, and special events. Mention what you’re celebrating to the hotel staff a week or more before you arrive and you might be surprised with a little gift, like a bottle of champagne in your room.
Ask for a Corner Room
When you check in at a hotel, ask if there’s a corner room available. These are usually larger and quieter for the same price as ones in the middle of the hall. Upgrades are most often offered at the end of the day when hotels have a better sense of their occupancy (入住率).
