When traveling, a hotel stay can certainly make or break your experience. Before and during your stay, be mindful of the following tips in order to maximize your experience fully in terms of costs, quality, and service:

Skip package deals

While such deals may seem attractive at first, they often include services and charges that you’d typically prefer to avoid.

Skip the mini bar

It goes without saying that markups on mini bar items are more sky high than your room itself.

Ask for a corner room

Research parking
