Peter Greenberg, NBC’s travel detective, says there are three questions almost no traveler thinks to ask hotels before checking in.
- How close is my room to construction? (Few hotels these days are not undergoing some kind of renovation)
- Are there any rooms available below the eighth floor? (Fire departments literally cannot fight fires above that height).
- What floors have booster pumps on them? (Those will the be the floors with the best water pressure in showers).
Most consumers never think to ask hotel questions beyond whether their room is smoking or nonsmoking, or whether it has a king- or a queen-size bed. Greenberg argues that getting a little smarter with your room queries will dramatically improve your stay.
