Can you share your travel and accommodation tips?

1 Strategy triggered by a topic

I saw a topic today: After the epidemic is over, which city do you most want to visit? Thousands of people participated in the discussion. Everyone is holding their breath and waiting until spring, when everything revives, to go out and have fun. As for me, I took advantage of this free time at home to compile a large number of travel notes and pictures. In the near future, you may need to use this guide.

When traveling, the most expensive areas are transportation tickets and accommodation. Most people choose to book a hotel through the Internet, and the unspoken rules of the Internet are everywhere. Good reviews can be brushed off, and bad reviews may also be the result of impulsive guests who deliberately say something unpleasant in a moment of anger. These discussions may influence everyone to miss the good ones and choose the wrong ones. Today’s article will give you an example: how to choose a satisfactory accommodation through the official photos published by the hotel (even after beautification).

There are some things that can’t be hidden by deception.

The most recent trip, the destination was Changsha, lasted 9 days and 8 nights. I stayed in a hotel for the first 4 days and a B&B for the last 4 days. I was quite satisfied with both of them. Let’s take this as an example. First Talking about hotels, the next article will share about B&Bs.

2 Details

As a traveler who stays in hotels 300 days a year, I find that good hotels are not necessarily expensive, but they must be willing to spend on details. It was built with thought and willingness to spend money on small things.

Detail 1: The facilities are updated quickly and have user-friendly "small designs". A good hotel will pay special attention to the guests' feelings. Even if the building is old, the facilities will not fall behind.

For example, the last time I visited Songcheng, the hotel there was an old building with decades of history. The corridors exuded the decoration atmosphere of the end of the last century, but they were used to welcome and see off guests. It's a robot. The robot will help press the elevator, look after the luggage, lead the way, and say hello, which adds a lot of fun to the journey, and the per capita housing price is not too high.

The same is true for the hotel we stayed in Changsha this time. Most of the switches in the room are touch screen, the curtains are electric, and there is a small red button on the mirror. The lights turned on in a circle, illuminating people more clearly.

There is a small box on the sink. It is clean. After a closer look, it turns out to be a mini trash can on the counter, containing some daily garbage such as makeup remover paper, used cotton swabs, and the outer packaging of disposable toothbrushes. , can they be thrown in?

Detail 2: Toiletries and disposable supplies will be of higher quality. A good hotel will know how to spend money on something like this.

I remember the last time I visited the beach in Zhejiang and stayed in a hotel there. Their disposable slippers were made of primary-color canvas. It was the first time I saw such slippers and I was reluctant to throw them away. , I also took it home. Although the hotel's facilities were old and the buffet was not very good, just because of this pair of slippers and the warm details in the room, it left a good impression on me.

The slippers in the hotel I stayed in in Changsha this time were also made of canvas, so this is one of the reasons why I like this hotel.

Secondly, in good hotels, towels are replaced very quickly. If the towels are hard, it means they haven’t put any thought into the linens for a long time. In the hotel I stayed in, the towels were replaced very quickly. It is soft, quite soft, and has no peculiar smell.

In addition, in good hotels, soap will be easier to use. It won't feel dry and astringent, but will feel smooth. Here’s a little experience: Generally speaking, hotels that use round soaps will have better overall quality than hotels that use rectangular soaps.

Detail three, pay attention to the distinction between dry and wet. Good hotels, even if their facilities are old, will find ways to use a glass room to separate a separate "bathing area" in the bathroom.

The hotel I stayed in Changsha this time clearly separated dry and wet areas: there are three areas in the hotel, bathing, sink, and toilet, each with its own place, which is refreshing and refreshing. ?These can be seen clearly in the official pictures.

Detail 4: Lighting. A good hotel knows how to use lighting to create a good atmosphere.

Lighting is a very important room configuration. When you walk into a dark room, your mood will turn gloomy. Some hotels only have one light in the room, making people feel groggy all day long. Feeling sleepy and lack of energy; but some hotels can create various lighting atmospheres according to different areas.

It cannot be expressed in words alone. It can be distinguished through several pictures. This is the leisure mode: all the lights in the house are turned off, and only the dining table (writing desk) has warm light.

This is the reception mode: the whole house is brightly lit.

Detail 5: Site selection. A good hotel may not necessarily be in a popular area of ??the city, but it has a broad view.

For example, the hotel I stayed in in Changsha this time is in a relatively unpopular area. It is a 20-minute drive from Changsha South Railway Station and a 30-minute drive from Wuyi Square. It is neither lively nor prosperous. , but the scenery outside the window is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

3 Little Experiences

Finally, there are a few little experiences that can help you choose a satisfactory hotel.

Firstly, the hotel experience will be better the closer it is to the hotel. The newly opened hotels have more advanced infrastructure and higher configurations.

Second, don’t let sudden unpleasantness affect your mood during the journey.

For example, the hotel I stayed in in Changsha was good in everything, but it had a huge shortcoming:

Generally speaking, good hotel front desks are well-trained and Quite professional, but the girl at the front desk of this hotel is like "coming through the back door". She doesn't understand many professional operations, and she can't say nice things well. It is a pity that such an important window position has compromised the overall image of the hotel.

But then I thought about it, life is inevitably unsatisfactory, and there are many bumps and bumps. Since the residence is quite comfortable, and the service attitude of others is not something we can correct within the scope of our responsibilities, it is better to open up our hearts in time. , eliminate negative emotions and do not let any dissatisfaction become a reason to affect the happiness of travel.
