Deciding how much you are willing to spend can help you narrow down your search and avoid overspending. Keep in mind that higher prices may not always equate to better quality or value.

Don't be afraid to contact the hotel directly with any questions or concerns. A good hotel should be happy to answer your questions and make your stay as comfortable as possible.
