Hotel Employees Share the Little-Known Facts, Hacks, and Red Flags of the Hotel Industry

Some hotels are more basic than others, and you should know that when you book. One person shared that they work at a small, limited-service hotel that doesn’t have a pool or restaurant. The hotel makes no secret of this on their website, but there are always guests who complain about the lack of “amenities.”

If you are looking for more resort-style amenities, make sure you book a place that explicitly offers those things. Hotels will always provide information about their free services, so research ahead of time instead of getting upset when you arrive and discover the hotel only has free Wifi and no continental breakfast.
