Summer is here. The kids are out of school and vacation plans are starting to kick in. One of the most important vacation decisions you’ll make is which hotel to book for your trip. Here are 4 things to think about as you’re making that decision.

 

 

Location – When it comes to your vacation hotel, it’s important to find one that close to the activities and attractions you’re interested in experiencing. The last thing you want to do on vacation is spend loads of time driving back and forth from your hotel to the places where you really want to spend your vacation time.

Amenities – Hotels have different things to offer guests, and finding one that has benefits for you and your family can help enhance your vacation experience. For families with kids, that can be great value in finding a hotel with an indoor pool or free breakfast. Or if you travel with pets, finding a hotel that allows them is a must.

Friendly and Knowledgeable Staff – Staying at a hotel with a knowledgeable, helpful staff can also add to your vacation. Whether it’s a member of the housekeeping staff who is quick to help you get extra towels or some replacement toothpaste, or the concierge who offers some insight into special things to do at your vacation destination, staff can really make a positive impact on your stay.

Price – At the end of the day, everybody likes to get the most bang for their vacation buck. Weigh out the cost of your hotel with everything else it offers to make sure you feel like you’re really getting the most out of your vacation budget.

Keeping those things in mind should help add enjoyment to your summer vacation. And we've got even more to help you out! Check out these great vacation-related giveaways!
