"Horrible mattress with springs sticking out. It sounded like the bed was going to break. There was paint dripping down the bathroom wall. The shower floor didn't have enough support, so I couldn't stand in the middle of it. Not enough towels provided; I asked for an extra towel and pillow, but never got either. Stay at another hotel.2015-08-04"

The microwave didn't work, and I finally realized it wasn't plugged in. The TV and dresser were dusty. A large group took over the pool all night, and the whirlpool was covered. The towels had hair on them and didn't look clean. Don't stay here.2022-07-21"

"My hotel room looked like it hadn't been cleaned. One of the bed comforters was dirty, along with 2 of the towels. The bathtub wasn't clean, and the floor mat was stained. Dirt stuck to my foot as soon as I took off my sandals. I asked for a room change, but no other rooms were available. No housekeeping, so I had to go to the front desk for everything; I was given a broom, rag, and spray bottle to clean myself. I killed 2 spiders and a gnat.2021-08-15"

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.
