Every guest should follow some dos and don'ts during their stay in a hotel to make their travel more enjoyable.
You may have searched all the review sites to learn about the hotel you have booked online, but some questions can be asked only in person at the time of check-in or check-out. Below are some common and important questions that can improve the quality of your stay and help you avoid unpleasant surprises while checking out.
Inquire about resort fees
No guest would like to pay for hidden fees at the time of check out. But in some cases, there are a few unavoidable built-in additional charges, like resort fees. It is best if you are warned about these hidden fees in advance to determine the budget for your hotel room. At the time of booking, inquire about the resort fee and other hidden charges, even if you are already aware of them.
Ask if your stay includes a complimentary breakfast.
When you are on vacation in a foreign country, it is always best to opt for a hotel that offers a complimentary breakfast. This service can put your mind at ease, and you will have to worry about one less thing during your vacation. Even though it is quite rare for a hotel to not include a complimentary breakfast within the price of their stay – make sure you ask them before booking your stay.
Does the room have free Wi-Fi?
While booking a hotel room, many guests get tricked by the phrase “Room includes Wi-Fi.” If a hotel advertises internet access as being “included” in the room, it does not necessarily imply that you will get a constant Wi-Fi connection in the room. “Included" often means that you will be granted internet access for about 30 minutes to an hour - free of charges - before the hotel charges a steep amount for the same. Always ask the hotel staff about the nature of the Wi-Fi service that the guests are entitled to.
Inquire if the hotel has free parking facilities
Let's say you drove for hours to finally reach your accommodation and discover that the parking fee at the hotel is around Rs 500 a night. This hidden charge can deceive you. The majority of popular hotel chains usually state on their official website whether or not they provide free parking on their premises. Do not hesitate to ask for any discounts or vouchers on parking, if available.
Asking the right questions at the time of check-in and check-out can dramatically enhance the quality of your stay.
