The post Finding The Perfect Hotel For Your Trip appeared first on Ms. While there are a ton of booking sites out there, here are some tips to find the perfect hotel for your travels. With so many websites that search for hotels, it can be confusing to know which one is best. Those that quote rates for specific hotels, like Booking.com and Agoda.com. While it can be costly to have to switch to another hotel, that’s less important than the time and hassle.

In 2018 I slept in 9 different countries, sometimes in hotels and sometimes in vacation rentals–usually through Airbnb. While I do love the housekeeping services that come with hotels, apartment rentals usually win out for me. So, when I saw 7 reasons I’d choose a hotel over Airbnb any day , by Laura McCamy, I thought it deserved a response. Most hotel rooms (especially in Europe) won’t sleep four, even with a roll-away bed, so you have to get two rooms.

I asked her about querying her company for a service pick up or a hotel room and they rejected the notions even though she is the only sales exec that must travel this distance. The situation is very tough on her and I am wondering if there is anything legal protecting her in this situation. . I think you could make pretty good argument that having to be three hours away for a 7:30 am meeting would be a good business reason for a hotel room.

Question: Dear Mr. Sklover: Is it illegal or unethical to work at the same time in two competitive hotels which are situated in the same town and in the same area of the city? The positions are Director in the first hotel and Sales Manager in the other. I don’t think working simultaneously for competing hotels is unethical, either, BUT it could be viewed by other people to be unethical. Which hotel might you tell someone represents the better value for the price of a room?
