Choosing a hotel can be a daunting task, which is why we made this handy tip guide into helping you to choose the best hotel for you. The following check list contains features that should be the standard in every hotel no matter how long you stay at the location.
DISCOUNTS
Every hotel needs to have some sort of discounts or promotional events appearing daily whenever reservations are taking place. Discounts help to encourage first time hotel visitors to rent out a hotel room.
Discounts can come in a variety of ways, one such form are as insurance discounts. Many hotels have made use of popular insurance companies, such as AAA (American Automobile Association) or AARP (American Association of Retired Persons). These two life long well being insurance companies are usually offering an affiliate promotional event from hotel reservation placements. Hotels have ended up attracting many first time hotel visitors, and have ended up keeping first time hotel visitors as common members of the hotel reservation archives.
Another popular discount that hotels offer are ones that benefit our men and women in the armed forces, such as the Military, Air Force, Navy, National Guard, Army, Marines, and Navy Seals. These discounts help to encourage and boost the over all moral of our men and women who have and currently are serving in one of the armed forces. What better way to help and support our military than by offering our Veterans discounts to hotels.
One of the most popular discounts that can not only be found during a hotel reservation, is a discount that applies to our Senior Citizens, usually fifty years of age or older. These senior citizens are able to use this senior citizen hotel discount on the hotel reservation to help compliment there static monthly income. This income is usually generated through a number of monetary channels such as Social Security Supplementation, Retirement Annuities, and a 401k fund started during their time of employment that was offered by their employer.
Newly Wed’s are also able to snag a discount here and there during their first week or so of getting married usually. Hotels will usually offer a substantial discount for newly weds who have recently or are about to get married to one another. This newly wed discount may only apply for a single night, or may cover up to and even past a weeks stay at the hotel. Depending on how much fun the newly weds are having with each other.
Sometimes, hotels will a discount to one of their members who are only staying for one night. If this discount is currently being promoted at one of the hotels that is on your wish list, then you might want to take that one. Some hotels may charge what seems like beyond reason for only a single night stay. By choosing a hotel that offers a single night stay discount, you may be able to snag another discount to help boost your money savings even further from the bank and into your wallet.
Extended stay hotels may offer additional promotional discounts for visitors who are wishing to stay for an extended duration of time. This extended stay duration of time may be anything from two days up to a couple months. Anything beyond a month or so and you really should think about simply investing into a town home or a smaller separate housing unit. These hotels that offer an extended stay discount, may help travelers who are traveling through that state, a helpful benefit to put their mind at ease from them having to scramble in search of additional single stay hotels.
FEATURED AMENITIES
Many hotels offer various features and amenities for their reservation guests. The more amenities a hotel has to offer, the better chance of them attracting more and more visitors who are willing to possibly pay a higher amount of money for additional features that a similar cheaper hotel might not offer to them.
A hotel that is worth the investment from someone needs to have a free breakfast. What hotel would be complete without having a hot and cold breakfast, free of charge? These breakfast menu’s need to have items to cater to a wide array of taste preferences. Some popular free breakfast items include hot and cold cereal such as dry cereal or oat meal and grits. Scrambled eggs, sausage, chopped fruit, and pastries need to be on all the menu’s of a hotel that is offering a free complimentary breakfast.
Hotels need to be situated in and around popular and safe shopping areas. Not only will a hotel be benefiting from being near populated shopping venues to help attract new visitors, but current hotel visitors will be glad to have shopping areas so close to their hotel room so they won’t have to travel an extreme distance to go to the movies or purchase a new outfit for example. Hotels need to be located in an area with plenty of local attractions such as the city zoo, large shopping malls, and decent sized sporting goods outlets. These shopping areas and other local attractions should offer plenty of well lit parking lots with plenty of security officials on duty to help detour unwanted crime in the vicinity of the hotels and their guests.
Many traveling families, and even single parent families will sometimes travel with their faithful trusted animal companion. The animal pets will sometimes be either a dog, cat, or bird. Sometimes people will even travel with their fish that they bring in travel aquariums. All places of business need usually need to accommodate so called “service animals” though hotels might as well be offering discounts for people who bring in animals to the hotel reservation check in with them. Most hotels will offer a small green belt or park area that will give the animals some room to stretch their legs and do their business before settling in for the night in the hotel room. By offering promotional discounts to individuals who bring in pets, the hotel will be catering to those people who bring in pets as part of the family or those visitors who bring in pets as “service animals.”
Today’s modern era of technology has seen a steady rise in social networking and all forms of electronic communication channels in the form of websites, cell phones, mobile computer tablet handhelds, and other similar electronic devices. The electronic devices usually need to be connected to the internet either through their own paid internet service company or through an offered high speed internet feature the hotel offers to their guests. Many business folk need to have an always connected internet source for their personal computer or smartphone. Personal computers could be used to access the persons personal website, forum, or blog, while the smartphone will enable the visitor to always keep in touch with their companies fellow staff employees.
When ever you are interested in checking hotel listings and deciding which hotel is right for you, consider reading reviews of the hotel, not on the hotels website, but on other websites, that enable users to review hotels in general. Sometimes websites will fail to display the “not so popular” reviews. And who’s to blame them, would you want someone posting a negative review about your product on your products personal website, forum, or blog? Be sure to keep an eye out for hotels that do and do not include positive reviews and certificates of excellence in some way shape or form. These hotel reviews need to be lengthy and in depth yet straight to the point so as to not confuse the reader to much. These hotel reviews that you should be reading need to cover both the positives (pro’s) and negatives (con’s) about the specific hotel that you are curious to get more additional information about. A hotel that has nothing but negative reviews, you may need to rethink your decision about staying at that particular hotel, and rather choosing a hotel that has more positive reviews. These positive reviews should not appear to be biased. For all we know, that particular hotel that has nothing but positive reviews on another website, may be paying users of the website or the website owner to post only positive reviews about the hotel, to help attract additional hotel reservations from visitors. Speaking of hotel reservations, these reservations need to be fairly easy to read in paper form along with being well put together when registering a hotel reservation on the internet via the hotels own website. Their website needs to be both computer friendly and mobile friendly. Since most people now are begging to use mobile devices in place of larger computers for the same tasks they would perform on a regular basis.
Not to many hotels will offer a discount or service that enables their currently registered guests to freely change hotels to another location using the same hotel business. That person might have a job conference in one city of the state, and another job conference in another city in the same state. By offering the hotel guest the ability to free change their hotel stay from one hotel to the other, that will be saving that person quite a lot of money. If that person would like to have their work related or business related job conference at the hotel instead of having the conference “off site” then the hotel should accommodate that person’s request by offering free to use conference rooms. These conference rooms should not have a waiting list or cost additional money, rather the conference rooms need to be available on a first come, first serve basis.
Many hotel visitors do not drive to the hotel in their own vehicle, especially if that person is coming in from out of state or out of country. They will usually be dropped off via some sort of public transportation such as a city bus, light rail, airport shuttle, or taxi. All hotels need to offer free airport shuttles to and from all of their hotel chains no matter where the location is of the particular hotel. These airport shuttles, need to be constantly going back and forth picking up and dropping off the hotel guests whenever they are ready to book a stay at the hotel or are ready to depart from the hotel for good.
Hotels should also offer both indoor and outdoor swimming pools and hot tub jacuzzi’s. Depending on the overall temperature of the climate from the weather where the hotel is located, will usually depend on whether or not they have either an indoor or outdoor swimming recreational areas. Though even if the hotel is in a cooler climate, that hotel can simply offer a heated swimming pool instead of closing the swimming pool for part of the year or not even offer a swimming pool there to begin with. These swimming pool areas need to be constantly monitored by professionally trained lifeguards and knowledgeable medical staff. The swimming pool areas need to also be surrounded by a locked fenced and only be open during daylight hours unless the area is constantly brightly lit up by well high powered overhead and under water flood lights.
Many hotels offer designated smoking areas, though all hotels should be completely smoke free zones. Smoking cigarettes or cigars of any kind should always be done off the hotel premises so as to not cause harm to the other hotel guests and visitors. Many hotels may loose some hotel reservations by only being smoke free buildings and property, but that is a fairly minor trade off considering the hotel could be doing more harm then good by offering any kind of designated smoking area on the building premises.
One of the most important traits a hotel and their staff need to offer is great customer service. How many times have you called a hotel agent to schedule a hotel reservation and your language of spoken dialect was not even close to being the first few options offered on the list of spoken languages on the telephone. The customer service hotel agent needs to also be able to sympathize with the hotel’s customers whenever the hotel’s customers have either a complaint or a compliment regarding the hotel, the hotel staff, or the overall hotel operations in general.
Staying at a hotel can be both a rewarding experience for yourself and for the hotel. By you choosing the hotel that has the best mix of positive reviews, discounts, and featured amenities, you will be staying at a hotel with unsurpassed customer service and located near safe and well populated shopping areas and convenient stores.
