13. Hotel facilities.
When planning to travel, you can choose the hotel in a short period of time. Probably the most important factor for many of us is cost. The price for hotel accommodation depends on a star rating. In Europe, hotels are usually ranked on a scale from one to four stars and in the United States from one to five stars.
When reviewing which hotel is the best for you, make sure you can actually afford to enjoy the stay, and try to be honest with yourself whether you really need all the offered amenities.
Nowadays large, modern hotels contain not only guest rooms, but many other facilities as well. They usually contain restaurants and cocktail lounges, shops and recreational facilities for social functions, conventions and conferences – ballrooms, auditoriums, meeting rooms of different sizes, exhibit areas and so forth.
Food services are a feature of hotels. The typical modern "packaged hotel” includes a restaurant, a coffee shop for quicker and less expensive meals, and a bar or cocktail lounge. Many larger hotels have several restaurants, often featuring different kinds of foods, as well as different prices. Hotels also normally provide "room service” – food and drink that are brought to the guest’s room.
