If you are in the process of choosing a hotel it is extremely important to find one that fits your style and budget. In general, hotels are rated with a star system (usually 1 through 5), and this of course correlates with the hotels' price.
The most important and obvious thing is to plan your trip carefully and to prepare yourself with proper information to avoid logistics nightmares and then you will enjoy your stay so much more!
Vacation Planning Tips
Have a budget in mind - It is much easier to make decisions when you know what you're able to spend.
Choose dates upfront - It is essential in order to get good service and a reliable price to have set dates. Remember, airfares are in general less expensive for midweek departures and returns.
Know what kinds of hotels you like - Are you a "five-star is the only way" kind of person, or is a locally run hotel with only a few rooms and a personal touch your preference?
Consider fly time - Are there any direct flights from your city? How long is the flight? Do you care about connections and layovers?
