Expert Reviews of United States Hotels

The general level of the hotel base in the US can be called above the average and it can be compared with European hotels.

Main features placements in the USA, which must be known:

1. The hotel can be occupied only by people aged 21 years. Therefore, if a company of young people is traveling, be attentive - all laws are strictly observed in the United States, therefore under no circumstances will they be settled alone.

2. The deposit is ALWAYS taken as collateral.

In most cases, "freeze" the deposit on credit cards, and on departure, if no additional costs are incurred the time of residence was not, this deposit is "unfrozen". But keep in mind that Russian banks conduct such a transaction as a withdrawal of cash and a subsequent refund, so the money for the card is returned within 3-4 weeks at least. If you have a credit card, but not a debit card, the refund is made almost instantly.

3. Breakfasts in the cost of accommodation are usually NOT included - only with any promotions. Even resort hotels do not include food in the cost. There are no other options for food, except breakfast, there is no half-board in the US, not even the All Inclusive system. With hotels, and close to hotels, there are always a large number of restaurants and cafes where you can choose food for every taste. The average price for breakfast in hotels from $ 30 per person for "Full American Breakfast" is cold and hot snacks, fruits, berries, various freshly squeezed juices and yoghurts, etc. You can also order a continental breakfast and a la carte breakfast.

4. In American hotels, as a rule, three- and four-bed accommodation is made on two double beds - 2 people on one bed, the third - on the next. This option is good for a family of three people, but if you go on a business trip or just a company of friends, it's not very convenient. In standard rooms it is rarely possible to put an extra bed, so comfortable accommodation for 3 people or more in one room is possible in superior rooms, with a larger area.

5. The area of ​​a standard room in American hotels, as a rule, starts from 30 sq.m., that is, the rooms are very spacious. Exceptions are hotels in New York, where, due to lack of space, standard rooms on average do not exceed 20-25 square meters.

6. There is no special dress code for hotels in the 5 * hotels - it's very democratic in the USA.

7. Many hotels, even 5 * categories, accept guests with dogs, for an additional fee, but very rarely cats.

8. At the beach and ski resorts, as well as in Las Vegas, guests are additionally charged with a resort tax (usually paid on site at check-in), an average of $ 25 per room per night, and this includes, depending on the hotel, parking, gym, swimming pool, Wi-Fi and other extras.

9. In hotels in the resort area, there is almost no animation, in the usual sense for Russian tourists. Holiday in the USA is completely independent, guests usually have fun themselves.

10. It should also be borne in mind that beaches in the US are municipal, private beaches owned by hotels are very few.
