Hotels and Resorts

Hotels and resorts offer different amenities so be sure to check what's available before you book. Some of the differences of staying in a hotel rather than a private home may include: Daily Maid Service, Room Service, Community Pool, Central City Location, Shuttle Bus and Bellhops. Cooking facilities are limited and generally include a small refrigerator and microwave.

Hotels are generally a more expensive lodging alternative and may have hidden costs such as tipping, parking, phone and internet charges and local taxes but are an excellent choice for those who plan to eat out often and spend most of their time out and about town.
