"The hotel wasn't within walking distance of Lovelace Heart Hospital as I'd hoped. The check-in clerk was hard to understand because she talked with her head down. When we got to our room, it hadn't been cleaned, so we had to go back down and ask for another room. It was fine and pretty clean with the exception of the mildew on the shower curtain. I mentioned it and got a discount. I had to go to the front desk a few times to get service in the bar area. The food was OK.

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
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.
