If you visit other cities on a regular basis, chances are that you've had the chance to stay in more than one hotel.. Some hotels may offer amenities that were not readily available in others. To make it easier to manage travel arrangements when the need arises, it helps to have a list of your favorite hotels. Doing so will make it easy to always have some backups in mind if your favorite hotel happens to be booked the week of your impending stay.
The Quality of the Rooms
One of the main criteria for assessing different hotels is what you happen to think of the rooms. Think back on the different places you've stayed while in town and consider each of those rooms. Which hotels tended to have the most comfortable beds? How did you like the linens used by each of those different hotels. In terms of appearance, which ones sported decor that you found especially appealing?
Even though you probably don't plan on spending a lot of time in any of those rooms, it does help to choose something that will be very pleasant to come home to after being out all day seeing clients. Most certainly, you do want surroundings that are pleasant when you wake up.
Consider the In Room Amenities
Various hotels offer amenities that are intended to make their guests feel comfortable. As you think back on past trips, which hotels seemed to offer the perks that you used most frequently? Perhaps one hotel offered the nicest selecting of free toiletry items. Another one may offer free high speed wireless service in the room. Maybe you really liked the fact that one hotel offered rooms that included a tiny kitchenette area where you could keep food in a fridge and even heat up a snack in a microwave oven.
The key to evaluating the amenities has to do with which hotels offer benefits that you will actually put to good use. If you don't plan on keeping anything to eat in the room, it doesn't matter if one hotel happens to include a kitchenette in the room design. You will likely be much more comfortable in a hotel that offers rooms service even if you are in the mood for something to eat in the wee hours of the morning.
Location Matters
Another factor to consider as you compile your list of favorite hotels has to do with the location. Maybe you happen to like one hotel because it is more or less centrally located to all the places you plan to go during your stay. Maybe a different one has the benefit of being a little removed from the busier part of the city, allowing you to enjoy plenty of peace and quiet. Perhaps you are someone who likes to be closer to the airport, making it a little easier to use the shuttle or a cab to make those early morning flights.
A location that is considered great for one traveler may not be all that wonderful for a different one. It is up to you to determine how much location factors into your choice of a hotel. When this particular aspect is not all that important, it will not weigh very heavily into arranging your favorite hotels into any type of pecking order.
As part of your list of favorite places to stay, always include the information needed to reserve a room. Having all that data on hand will make it much easier to start with your favorite hotel and see if a room is available for the dates you have in mind. If not, it is a simple matter to move on to the second favorite on your list and see if they can accommodate you. Within a matter of minutes, you can have a booking in place and rest assured that you have the ideal home away from home while you are in town.
