Most of the time my hotel stays have been fantastic. Yet on a few occasions, I selected poorly. Not Psycho, as shown above, level but pretty close. It was in what appeared to be an ok area but it was not. There are plenty of online tools and telltale signs (from review sites and Google Maps to weird photos and bed-bug registries) to help tip you off that you might be booking a crappy hotel.  To help you avoid a Psycho hotel experience follow these tips: CHECK ONLINE REVIEWS One of the best ways to avoid disaster when it comes to hotels is to see what other people are saying. Keep in mind though, that it is not enough to hear what people “generally” think about the chain. You need to find out how the local reviews are in the town you wish to stay in. That way you know how the experience was in that locale before you go. If you find a bad review, that may be normal. Not everyone’s experience is the same. But it might be a sign you need to call them and address the issue. Then you can at least hear it from them if the problem has been resolved.

But what you’re not seeing is the construction site next to the diving board or the pesky giant building behind the dunes, both of which have been conveniently cropped out.  The website is seriously outdated probably the hoteltoo The Internet is an essential tool for travelers nowadays. If a hotel can’t be bothered to update its website, what are the chances it has bothered to update its furnishing and fixtures and whatnot? We’re not saying that the tiny B&B you found has to have a flashy website, exactly—just that you might want to independently verify what the property is really like with a few other trusty sources. Join Loyalty Programs Another easy way to improve your odds of escaping unfavorable rooms is to join any and all free hotel loyalty programs.
