subject: One Way To Make For A Smooth And Enjoyable Vacation Stay [print this page] Hotels and motels are a dime a dozen when you are traveling but the problem is if you wait to find a room until you are ready to stop you could very likely find yourself staying somewhere that is less desirable and overpriced to boot. If you are heading out on a road trip and anticipate having to make a stop it is best to line up an inexpensive but clean hotel stay in advance of your travel. While there are never any guarantees by doing this you will have a location and a room waiting for you at a time when it will be opportune to stop.
Booking this type of reservation you will likely find that they will allow you to cancel it if you change your mind at least the day before but this can save you a lot of headaches because when you get off the highway already tired and ready to rest you may not be able to find a room and could spend quite a bit of time driving around in unfamiliar territory finding someplace that suits. Planning in advance you can even set your GPS to take you directly to your very first stop.
If you opt not to make a reservation in advance then you should probably at the very least scout out some more populated areas for your possible hotel stay and maybe even take a few numbers and addresses with you on the road. With your cell phone and GPS system this will enable you to shop around quickly from your car without spending endless hours popping in and out of local hotels.
Of course, your hotel and motel needs for a night's rest will most likely be much more nominal then a place that you will be staying for a week or two. This is important to keep in mind because this will help you to get the bare minimum and pay less. Many make the mistake of looking for an ideal hotel room, which can be very costly and is generally unnecessary when you are simply looking for a place to rest your head between legs of a road trip.
Anytime you plan in advance to take a road trip take the time to scout out the options when it comes to potential hotels to rest at along the way. You can have a top of the line hotel room when you arrive at your destination so keep it simple. Look for a clean place to stay in a safe neighborhood and if you want to consider an extra choose as place that offers a free breakfast as this can really help to save you some time and money when you are on the road.
