How to Find the Best Hotel

When it comes to choosing your hotel, the best way to find the features you're looking for and avoid disappointment is to read up on hotels and learn from other travelers' experiences. So, what I always do to find the best hotel is this two-step process:

1. Search for Hotels

First, I consult a travel guidebook or an online booking site to find hotels in my general price range and preferred location.

2. Read Candid Reviews

Then, once I have a few in mind, I read up them on TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor collects candid reviews from real travelers for thousands of hotels, and I am sometimes amazed to read much worse (or better) reviews that I had expected from the hotel's self-description. TripAdvisor also checks the prices for you on sites on Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity and Venere, and links you to booking pages on those sites. It's a very handy site! You can try it out right here:
