Tip 44: Hotel apps are becoming more useful
Recently I had an overnight flight and arrived at the hotel many hours before the typical check-in time. I had assumed I would have to check my luggage with the hotel desk and walk around town sightseeing for a few hours before I would be able to access my room, however I had “checked in” to my hotel via the mobile app which I can only believe is what led to me being so lucky as to have priority to a ready room.
Just has checking in to planes as soon as possible allows you to pick good seats, it appears hotel app Check-in also has advantages. In addition, you can use these apps to order room service, request items you forgot, or ask for more towels, etc. We also enjoy having a “mobile key” where our phone serves as a replacement (or backup) to a physical key.
In essence, hotels are becoming more “digital” so you just may want to take advantage of that on your next stay!
Tip 43: Motels vs Hotels in the US
I don’t know about you, but I don’t feel completely safe when people can access the door to your room without another layer of security. For this reason, I almost never stay in anything labeled a “motel” in the US as they are more often configured like the picture above.
We also never book a hotel without taking a detailed look at the photos on the hotel or booking website.
Reviews from past customers are also really helpful to give you a sense of the hotel security and safety of the surrounding area.
