I work for a large company that sends me all over the globe to promote our products, and it has been difficult to learn how to stay comfortable on the road. I work hard to do everything I can to prepare for my trips, but some hotels make it difficult to stay comfortable during the journey. This blog is completely dedicated to traveling for business and learning how to be a tourist--even when you aren't in a city simply to enjoy your free time.

4 Tips For Ensuring A Better Hotel Experience

If you are traveling and staying in a hotel, you want to be sure that your stay is the best that it can possibly be. Too often, people will choose a cheap hotel and not put much thought or effort into ensuring that their hotel stay is pleasant because they don't believe they will be spending much time in the hotel anyway. However, this is not often the case and your hotel stay can definitely make or break your overall travel experience. Here are four tips to ensuring a better hotel experience:

  1. Choose a Prime Location: To save yourself time and energy, it's best to choose a hotel that is located in the area where you will be doing the most sight-seeing. If you choose a cheap hotel that isn't located in your desired area, travel time to get to where you want to be can be quite a burden, especially if you don't know the area very well and how to get around it. 
  2. Speak Up: An important tip to take seriously is speaking up about what your preferences are for your hotel stay. You should be sure that you get a room that is the right size for you and whomever you are staying with. You should be sure that you ask for extra pillows or blankets if they are needed. And, don't be afraid to ask for a room with a better view or a room that isn't located near the pool if you prefer it to be quieter. The hotel management wants you to have a good experience, so most likely they will accommodate all of these needs for you. 
  3. Talk to the Concierge​: The concierge at the hotel is most likely familiar with all the benefits that the local scene provides. If you're not sure where to eat for breakfast, the concierge will be able to suggest all the best places. On top of this, they sometimes provide guests with coupons that they bring along with them to work knowing that their guests will want to use them more than they do. 
  4. Let the Hotel Know If You're There for a Special Occasion: If you are traveling for a special occasion, such as for a birthday, anniversary, or even for your own wedding, you should let the hotel know. They often provide little perks, such as chocolates or champagne delivered to the room. They will also get to know you more personally, which is always beneficial for better service all around during your stay. 

When you consider these four tips, you can be sure that your hotel experience is definitely much better than if you just choose to go with the cheapest hotel and put no effort into making the stay comfortable.
