Under the assumption that you have already selected a destination, means of transport and possibly travel agency, if you want to use their services, you still need only to choose a hotel.

Here are some tips and guidelines that will help you to select the right hotel:

1. Define the class of hotel, ie number of stars that categorized each hotel establishment. Of course this will depend a lot on personal finance so choose it according to your abilities.

2. Specify the type of room or apartment. Select, if possible, to have a nice view from the room.

3. Ask about hygiene at the hotel, how often they changing the sheets, throw out garbage, and more. Next, learn, is staff friendly and welcoming.

4. Consider whether you are more important locations or hotel facilities, or both, and thus also making a selection.

5. See on a map where exactly the hotel is. Check on the internet offerings, unless of course has its own web site.

6. Ask or with your travel agency or directly at the hotel what is the time to enter and leave the room.

7. Find out what kind of security level is at the hotel and is there a safe where you can leave valuables and documents during your stay.

8. Find in one of the internet forums, if there are experiences of people who have already stayed in that hotel. Also talk with some friends if they know something about that hotel. Any advice and suggestions are welcome here to get the full picture and to make good choices. You should choose an online hotel directory that gives up-to-date, independent, impartial information that really matters.

Find out about extra charges, special benefits are usually paid. Do not forget to check the local tax and do they charge you to park, how many parking spaces has a hotel, is there a transfer service, what about the phone calls and so on.

Compare prices. A number of hotel centers offer specially designed packages with discounts that offer different services. Do not be attracted just by the price, check what exactly is offered in the package. You can always bump up on the really good packages. The prices are often cheaper during the week than on weekends.

For example, there are special deals that are frequently offered for San Diego hotels, because travelers are looking for accommodations less often in this city than in other areas of California. This means that the lodgings often lower their prices here in the less-frequently visited cities.

Sometimes people make a mistake with the choice of view from the room. Many of them decide for the view at the pool, and although it sounds tempting, often noise coming from the pool knows to spoil the pleasure of a stay in that room. It is always better to have the view at a park or other quiet area.
