When booking a trip, one of the most important things you would consider is where to stay on your trip. Some people try to save as much money as possible, while others opt to spend a little more for more comfort & luxury-hey, you’re on vacation after all, so why not?If you are familiar & comfortable with a particular chain of hotels, then for familiarity’s sake, you may decide to stay at the same chain when you go to your vacation destination. Going with this route will ensure that you know what to expect & do not need to worry about possibly flexing your expectations for a new hotel. On the other hand, the drawback to this method would be the fact that vacations are supposed to be about trying new things, & sticking to a particular chain is not going to achieve that! As with any decision, you need to balance the pluses & minuses.
If you do decide to go ahead & try a new to you hotel, then there are two ideal avenues for searching for one. First, find out if any of your friends or family have been to that same vacation destination in recent years. You also may ask online forums that you are familiar with (signing up with a new forum just to ask vacation-related questions may work against you, unless the forum happens to exclusively be about vacation spots!) Personally asking people that have been to a particular hotel & enjoyed their stay guarantees an upfront, honest recommendation. Second, also check online search engines for recommendations and reviews. Read all reviews carefully & note the date of each review; if a hotel had an issue with mildew in 2006 but has resolved this problem & by 2010 has a renovated interior & great pricing, then you may be missing out if you decide not to stay at that particular hotel due to an outdated review.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/6048901
