"I was not impressed by this hotel. The room wasn't updated, the carpet smelled musty, and the mattress was old and sagged. The fridge made loud noises, and there were cigarette burns on the sink and in the bathroom. Don't stay here.2017-08-25"
HotelGuides has won my confidence as a booking experience that is seamless and simple enough for a consumer who does not venture online much. It is now my starting place for fast, secure, carefree booking.
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
