You Must Know These Secrets Before Booking a Hotel

If you travel often, or even have a special trip coming up, you’ll probably be booking a hotel room soon enough. Despite the benefits of staying in a hotel, there are also some things you should know beforehand that will save you money and save your health.
 
1. Don't pay cancelation fees

Do you suddenly need to cancel your booking, but don't want to pay the fee? Call and ask to move your stay to a couple of weeks (or more) later. Then call the next day and cancel for free.
2. Want clean beds? Ask.

The sheets are replaced every day, yes, but blankets only get washed once a week, and bed covers get cleaned once a month (or longer). So if you want it all to be clean, ask in advance.
3. Watch out for water glasses

You really should wash your glass before you drink from it.

5. Trust the concierge

6. How to get free movies

8. Don't trust the valet

Unless stated otherwise, the hotel won't be liable for any damages to your car that the valet may have caused. Park your own car, unless you're feeling lucky.
9. No one cleans the remote

One of the only things in your room that is NEVER cleaned is the remote control, and they're often teeming with germs and viruses like the common cold.
10. You may not want to sit there...
