PICKING YOUR ROOM
What do I need to know to
find out which Hotel offers the best room for me?
Why is requesting a
certain location for my room important?
What do I need to know
to find out which Hotel offers the best room for me?
This will depend on your particular
needs, but you might use the questions below to guide your research.
Do they have the ability to
childproof rooms?
Do they have any rooms available
designed to assist the physically handicapped or elderly?
Do they have smoking or nonsmoking
rooms available?
What types of bed sizes and
arraignments are available?
Do they have special bathrooms with
Roman tubs or whirlpool baths?
Are adjoining rooms available so
everyone can stay together?
Do they have rooms designed for
business travelers that have larger desks and data ports?
Do they have any rooms with
kitchenettes? Make sure you get some details because a "Kitchenette"
can vary from a wet-bar with just a sink all the way to a small
complete kitchen with the pans and the silverware. Youll probably
pay extra for them so youll want to ask to know exactly what youre
getting.
Can you book a room in a particular
part of the Hotel?

Why is requesting a
certain location for my room important?
Exterior rooms might be right next to
a loud highway off-ramp.
Interior courtyard rooms often are
more expensive with a poolside room, which can provide a nice view,
but pools can also be noisy.
Rooms near restaurants, stairs,
elevators, ice machine, and lobby are convenient, but put you closer
to the noise. Also, avoid the noisy rooms above or next to the
Hotels bar.
First floor rooms are easier to break
into. Some rooms may be on floors that are too high for fire rescue
to reach.
Rooms with balconies can be dangerous
if you are traveling with small children. You might consider a first
floor room, but youll have to take extra care when securing the
room.
