Choosing the Right Hotel for Your Vacation - Be Aware of Hidden Costs.

There are so many hotel choices in the world and how do you choose the right hotel for your Family Vacation.  First you need to determine location of your next vacation and then the rest is up to the planning process.  Pictures can be deceiving so you need to stick with a Theme for your vacation or national brands for consistancy.  The Brands that I work with are Marriotts, Hilton, Hyatt, Wydham Hotels.  When dealing with Condos I work with Known Tour Companies for Assured Reliability.

1.  Hotel or condo? LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION.  Hotels with locations near the beach or city views tend to run more than a hotel outside the city limits. With so many promotions and booking engines it can be down right overwhelming.  Do your online research and then get the help from a Travel Agent to help narrow down the best deals.  I can't stress enough how the help of a Travel Professional will make this experience more pleasant.

2.  Amenities - This is the most important factor in picking out your hotel.  Is breakfast or hotel parking included?  Is ground transportation complimentary?  Is there a charge for the internet per day or by the minute.  These are called hidden Costs.  You can find a GREAT DEAL, but if the the amenities are not included you will be surprised that you will be paying TOP DOLLAR for that Room.  BEWARE OF RESORT FEES.  The hotels have found a way to tag on fees for the internet, phone calls, parking and occupancy charges, so beware to get to the bottom of their rate charts.  KNOW THE CANCELLATION POLICY. 

Happy Travels and hope this helps to narrow down what hotel is the right choice for your next family vacation.
