So tired of hotel booking practises and refundable rates. Am I wrong? Do you remember the days when you could cancel a hotel 24 hours before without penalty or charge? I travel quite a bit and I am getting irate with having to spend, often over $50 per night, to get a refundable rate. I am presently booking a trip and I am starting to boycott the hotels that are charging these extorted rates. Luckily, there are st…

Advice on missing item situation from hotel? I wore a branded hoodie and leggings coming in from the airport to stay in Puerto Rico as I live in the Midwest US. I took them off in the hotel room and changed into clothes for warm weather. I stayed a total of five nights, housekeeping did a good job of cleaning up the room daily. The night before my flight I repacked my suitcase and was unab…

LPT: Need a night stand at a hotel, these two items will make on. Most hotels now only have only one nightstand, many folks sleep on the side without one. Check the closet for a suitcase stand and a small ironing board. Stand next to the bed, ironing board on top. Stable flat surface, with plenty of space for a CPAP, water bottle, charger, or whatever you want on hand in the night. submitted by /u/ni…

Always lock up your valuables in a hotel room Fairly upset right now. I am currently staying on Grand Cayman, and I believe the housekeeping staff stole my necklace. I have a lucky necklace that I almost never take off. If I take it off, it’s always in the exact same spot so I don’t misplace it. Yesterday, we went on a boat tour to Stingray City and a few other snorkeling stops. I didn’t w…

Hotel is in Times Square for NYE Hi! I’m in New York to see the ball drop. My hotel is within the enclosed area in Times Square. The checkpoints are on 6th and 8th, up until 56th. I’m staying on 7th, within that area. I also just saw the barricades and my hotel is in the zone. Do I still have to show up at 3pm just to go downstairs and stand for 18 hours? Will the police be g…

LPT: When you are in a hotel and you want to listen to music on your phone, put your phone in the sink. Try it. Much better acoustics, and it gives your phone a much bigger sound than if you leave it on your desk. It’s like bringing your boombox on the road with you. submitted by /u/JubileeSupreme

Moreover when I informed them via booking.com app and emailed them, I did…

CDG Lounge or Hotel 6 Hour Layover Flying into CDG for a 6 hours layover this coming week and unsure what the best option would be. Right now it shows we fly in 2e and fly out of 2f. I see the only option is an Air France Lounge which I might be able to get in for $75 or if I am lucky I might be able to pay for an upgrade from Premium Econ to Business. My question is does it mak…

LPT: Fogged up mirror in hotel? Use the hairdryer. I travel a decent amount for work, and for whatever reason lots of hotels mirrors fog up when using the shower. The hairdryer will clear the mirror right up, and won’t leave streaks like a towel. submitted by /u/mabowden

French Hotel Room Cozy submitted by /u/SabbyFox

Arrived at hotel in Hyderabad and they are saying it’s for Indian nationals only. Read the fine print CAREFULLY. Just lost a lot of trust in booking . Con I made the original booking through booking . Com Nightmare scenario: imagine riding the train all day, arriving at the hotel finally at 1:30 am and they tell you they only accept Indian nationals. Has anybody else experienced this? But it’s also my fault because in the …

New Orleans Hotel Dilemma I have hit a wall and am stuck between 4 hotels: Hyatt Centric French Quarter, The Royal Sonesta, Bourbon Orleans Hotel, and Hotel Monteleone. They all look great, get similar reviews, and are in the area we want to stay. I use a walker, so an elevator is important but I do not need an ADA room. I’m trying to make it special because I’m treating…
