Often considered to be one of the most beautiful cities, Vancouver offers plenty shopping and sight seeing to delight even the most seasoned traveller.

The city also has many great places to dine, and nestled between the sea and mountains provides plenty of adventures to choose from.

Vancouver is also home to numerous world class hotels to choose from, from the Shangri La, Opus, or Sutton Place to the Fairmont pictured below.

The W Montreal is a great place to stay, offering modern design and just minutes from old Montreal and many of the city’s main attractions.

Some might call it Montreal’s ultimate luxury hotel, and we might just have to agree.

If you’ve had any opportunity to travel, hotels obviously vary quality in a big way. Trying to save ten or twenty dollars on a hotel can make the difference between comfortable accomodations and a disappointing stay.

It’s important to book your hotel room in advance when you travel, as showing up without a reservation means you’ll pay top dollar, which is often almost double compared to calling ahead.

Here are some important tips for travel hotels suggest you to use;

• Spell your name when making a reservation to avoid disappointment. A misspelling can mean a lost reservation
• Before you confirm your room, ask for both room rate and tax
• Be sure to use a valid credit card when making a reservation. It may seem obvious, but a simple mistake such as this makes the difference.
• Specify your room preference (like one king bed or two queen beds)
• Be sure to get a confirmation number for each room you’ve reserved
• If you reseve multiple rooms, assign an occupants name to each one
• Find out the check in and check out times
• Ask the cancellation policy in case your plans change. Knowing in advance could help to successfully cancel a reservation instead of being charged on your credit card as “no show”
• You can apply for travel insurance which will protect you if the trip is cancelled
• Look over your confirmation for errors as soon as you receive it
• Ask if they offer any discounts like corporate, AAA, senior, etc
• Research travel guides and photos on the internet to avoid disappointment
• When booking in advance, always seek out special rates

When preparing to travel, hotels prefer advance reservations. Book ahead for your best savings!
