The Hotel Fit Guide

The expensive mistake

A very good hotel can still be wrong for you.

A five-star rating tells you what a hotel has. It does not tell you whether the room, the neighborhood, or the service rhythm fits the way you travel.

I made this guide from the seven questions I use before I recommend one.

1. 01Where do you want to be at 8 p.m.?
2. 02What does the entry room actually feel like?
3. 03Will you use the hotel, or only sleep there?
4. 04What kind of service makes you comfortable?
5. 05Which benefits change the real price?
6. 06What is the hotel's weak point?
7. 07What are you paying extra for?
