Whether traveling for pleasure or for work, you decide how enjoyable and successful it is. By adhering to a few simple, yet effective, travel tips, you can come home feeling refreshed, accomplished, and fulfilled. These tips apply when staying in a hotel and suites and can be used repeatedly for all your journeys.

How to Make the Most of Your Hotel & Suites Stay

1. Make the Most of Your Time

All vacations are only temporary. As such, it is imperative that you use as much time as you are given. That means arriving at your destination early. While this does translate to an earlier start, you'll arrive with a portion of the day to do with as you please. Likewise, stay late. Ask for a later check-out when it's time to leave. An extra few hours can make a major difference.

2. Hold on to the Good Memories

Traveling allows you the opportunity to undergo brand new experiences. Trying a new cuisine, living in a different climate, and seeing unbelievable sights are all part of the itinerary. You can better capture all those fresh feelings by taking photos along the way. Years down the road, this will allow you to relive the thoughts and emotions of the vacation. 

3. Be Prepared

Do your research before you leave. This means checking out the hotel & suites you are staying at. What amenities do they include? If they have a pool, pack a swimsuit. If they offer a free breakfast, put your budget towards a different activity. Knowing what to expect gives you the best opportunity to make the most of your stay.

4. When in Doubt, Ask

The staff at the hotel & suites are there to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. As such, you are always free to ask for help. If you need something additional in your room, phone the front desk and see if they can bring it. Perhaps you're looking for a new restaurant to try. The locals will have excellent recommendations.

5. Build Relationships

The best vacations are the ones that make you feel at home. You can do this by getting to know the staff around the hotel. Learn their names, thank them for their service, and always be kind. In return, they'll offer you the best service possible.
