A single city can provide a plethora of hotel options. So, with so much to choose from, how do you know what’s best for you?

Determine a Price Bracket

This is an important first step to take. Establishing a realistic price bracket helps you to narrow your search to only include financially feasible options.

Desired Amenities

Amenities are a part of what we love about hotels. They enrich our vacation and create an experience we don’t get at home. Available amenities vary from hotel to hotel, so consider what amenities matter most to you when making your decision. Do you plan on using the pool or gym  Or is having access to Wi-Fi and parking essential to you? If you are coordinating a business trip, booking a hotel with access to a boardroom could be a necessity.

Make a List of Important Features

We all have our personal preferences. Some individuals value continental breakfast; however, this may be unimportant if you don’t plan on eating breakfast at the hotel.

If you plan on traveling with your four-legged friend, choosing a hotel that accepts animals will be a deciding feature in your decision.

Last but not least, how much weight do you place on a hotel’s location in a city? Location impacts pricing and how you, as the guest, experience the city you’re staying in. A hotel in the heart of a city’s downtown core can put you closer to local restaurants and pubs. On the other hand, maybe you’re looking for a more family-friendly experience and want accommodations closer to local attractions. When considering a hotel’s location, it’s also important to take into consideration the surrounding streets. Busy nearby streets can potentially mean more noise, which can make getting a good night’s sleep challenging.
