A Travel Tip for Choosing Hotel Accommodations

A bit excited to post another entry in my travel blog today, hope readers will like it. I will give some tips in choosing hotel accommodation.

When choosing a hotel always consider these things:

*Is the hotel clean and comfortable? (of course it should be, who would go for a dirty hotel?)

*Is the accommodation provides a range of facilities? (like bar,restaurant,kiosk,swimming pool etc.)

*Provides best services and achieves a quality standard?

Most of the hotel has it's rating system it ranges from 1 star to 5 star. To get a higher Star rating, hotel must have the best quality in terms of services, food, bedrooms and cleanliness. Star ratings can be a good guide for determining the price of a hotel accommodation. Rating systems also reflects what options are available in choosing an accommodation. If you consider your budget, it is obvious that 1 star hotels are the cheapest and of course the best and the most expensive are the 5 star hotels.

(Another tip) When planning to book for accommodation try to look for discounts and promos. (haha!) HAPPY TRAVELING ^^
