How do you choose a hotel on the go? The important thing is cheap? Never underestimate your place of rest the night, especially during a holiday or business trip. Here are some tips to consider when choosing and staying at the hotel.
Power of choice
Choose the right hotel is half the battle. Many people only need a few minutes to observe the hotel room, benchmark often only the most affordable price. Although price is a general consideration, remember that all the hotels want a full room and the hotel manager will struggle to meet its rooms every night. So, do not get trapped.
For best results, book rooms in advance through a travel agent and try to be flexible with schedules. Hotel is the target market of business usually have cheaper rates on weekends which they consider as the off season.
Contact a travel agency, bureau like that can understand the needs and expectations. They can choose the best hotels based on service and comfort that is available, as well as proximity to urban centers, airports, restaurants and various entertainment venues.
Reservation
Although online ticket booking already is an option, are still advised to book through a travel agency. If you choose to contact the hotel directly, but can also be prepared with additional costs for telephone costs. Many hotels have toll-free number to call. If no such number, and you must call the hotel directly, you should phone the afternoon or evening because morning is the busiest time is when the guests check out.
Once the room is available, document all information about hotel and travel plans to be abandoned to a friend or neighbor in case of emergency.
If you've booked a hotel room through a travel agency, make a copy of the confirmation of the reservation that they give to you, which made it clear information about the hotel and arrival date and the date you quit. Bring information about the confirmation of reservation or print out the e-mail when you check-in. Hotels may not knowingly enter false information on reservations or not true, then it is very wise if you take all the files on the reservation just in case.
Delay
There's nothing worse than driving all day and arrived at the hotel only to find your reservation has been charred or not there is room available. The key to never experience anything like this is knowing how long tolerance to delay. Most hotels will hold your reservation network to normal until six o'clock. For those who arrived more nights will be asked to guarantee the reservation by providing credit card numbers. With the guarantee you will be safe, even for those who arrived after midnight, keep warm bed awaits. Hotel reserves the right to cancel reservations that are not guaranteed. If you are late, call the hotel and ask them to hold your reservation until you arrive.
There is no room
Although not get a room because of over-booking or error in the reservation, do not panic and lose the spirit. Many hotels will help solve that problem by making a bid to stay in the hotel which is still in an adjacent network. If your reservation is guaranteed charred, make sure that the quality of new hotel rooms in the same or better, and you are not charged additional fees. Hotels also have to bear the costs of transport you there. If these things are not covered, ask to speak with the manager or contact a travel agent to ask for help.
Smiling customer service
As a valuable customer, your satisfaction is very important. The hotel staff have been trained to work from time to time to meet your needs. But the problem may be present, such as bad neighboring rooms (not cooperate). So, look for clear to the hierarchy of customer service at the hotel to get a quick solution. Calls to the travel agency is always a good first step, so that they can talk with the hotel and find a way out of every problem. Although limited to advocacy and advice, travel agents can usually defuse many difficult situations that can satisfy you and the hotel.
At the hotel, front desk staff is trained to deal with problems without involving the manager. So, tell your problem clearly and let them handle it. From toothbrushes are forgotten until the relocation of the rooms, the font desk officer will offer a fast and direct assistance. If your complaint outside of their coverage, ask politely to see the manager. The managers better understand the importance of customer loyalty and has the authority to offer discounts to guests at that time or for the future. If nothing can be done by managers, contact the customer service department. For that, make sure you write the correct name of the person with whom you spoke, the date of stay, cost and problems faced.
Check in
The only matter when the check is supposed to be only when the counter. With the reservations already made, the hotel wants you to occupy the room immediately. If all information has been confirmed, ensure that the prices given are the actual costs. Ask the usual check in time and ask questions about the specifics of the area and the services provided. Ask your hotel's business card to watch if you get lost.

Security is a priority for you and the hotel. Once entering the hotel area, be careful and cautious.
