Travel Prep Part 1 : Picking a Hotel

Picking a hotel for an upcoming vacation can be an overwhelming process.  If you make a bad choice, you might risk ruining your entire trip before you even get out of the starting blocks.  If youโ€™re stoked on your hotel, youโ€™re excitement will help keep you energized throughout your trip.  Iโ€™ve accidentally stayed in my share of shit hotels over the years. So Iโ€™ve put together a quick 3 point checklist that I go through every time Iโ€™m on the hunt for a hotel.

Location Check at Picking a Hotel

Where EXACTLY is the hotel located?  I want to do my best to find a hotel that is close to all of the attractions and activities I plan on checking out during my stay.  If I can walk from my hotel to most everything I plan on doing during my trip, thatโ€™s a major win.  If I canโ€™t find a decent hotel within walking distance of these things, Iโ€™m going to find one that is close to a transportation station.  The better the location, the less money youโ€™ll spend getting to where you wanna be.  Cab rides definitely add up.  The right location will result in big savings.  Spend that money on dinner or a show instead.

With the above being said, you still want to make sure youโ€™re in a โ€œsafeโ€ area of town.  Double check this by performing a simple Google search on the city youโ€™re visiting.  An example search might be something like โ€œbad areas of (city name youโ€™re visiting)โ€.  Spend 5 mins reviewing the search results. Youโ€™ll have a good idea of any areas of town you might want to avoid.  I know that โ€œsafeโ€ is a relative term when talking about travel. But do your best to make sure youโ€™ll be staying in an area of town that you personally are comfortable with.
