3 Mistakes to avoid when booking a hotel

3 Mistakes to avoid when booking a hotel

With so many hotels in Washington today, it might be a difficult task trying to find one that meets your expectations. It’s not just a hotel you’re looking for but some good place which will give you a great experience. You need a hotel that has a variety of facilities; the swimming pool, a spa, good beds, a fully equipped business center for the traveling business people and such. If you are not careful, it is easy for you to jump into one and after you’ve paid a non-refundable fee, you realize that there are better options and thus you have to forfeit your money.

Reading this article helps you avoid mistakes when looking for a hotel room.

Making a reservation for the wrong hotel

If you are traveling probably for business or holiday and are in a haste to book a room in one of the hotels- probably because a marketer got you convinced that “the rooms are running out”. As you rush the hotel names, it’s easy for you to type the wrong name and this could end you up to the wrong hotel. Imagine you book a hotel in the CBD by mistake when you wanted to get one near the airport- a mile or so away- can turn out very frustrating and expensive. Be careful on the name of the hotel, take time and before you click the “confirm” button, be sure you have the right one.

Again, some hotels will give misleading information just to capture as many customers as possible- for instance, they may indicate that the hotel is “near the airport” when it is very far from it. Confirm the location of the hotel on the Google maps before you making your booking.

Not checking hotel reviews

Any good hotel has an online presence; a well-designed website with clear photos of the facility and a feedback page. Check the reviews of others who have experience with the hotel. You can pick a few names randomly and confirm the quality of their services. Ignoring the reviews could land you into problems that you’d have avoided. Again, you may need to ask for referrals from friends and relatives who have experience with the hotel. Do not make an uninformed decision, ask around, be sure of the services you’re paying for.

Booking at the wrong time

Be an advance planner. You know that you’re going to visit Seattle in a month or so. It is prudent that you do your booking in advance. Check out the best hotels from FindHotel and compare the many options and get one that offers quality services at an affordable rate. You can book pay before the prices go up or before the good hotels are fully booked. Last-minute booking can frustrate you, prices tend to go up toward the last day or some people may take advantage of you when in a rush. Therefore, plan your travel, book your hotel, confirm every detail relax as you wait for the material day.

If you want to enjoy your travel, you should do enough research on the available hotels at your destination. Do this in time and avoid last-minute rush which could land you in problems.
