Budget Hotels: Affordable Prices Come With Unaffordable Pains

Have you ever wondered how come budget hotels can offer amazing prices? It is a reasonable question. Obviously, you cannot expect to find the services and amenities that you find at more expensive hotels, when you stay at a budget one. However you should be able to expect the basics, right?

Well in most budget hotels this is not the case. If you surf the net for reviews on budget hotels you will find that most of them discuss the same issues, and one that can summarize them all is lack of quality. Budget hotel services are not even the basic services you would expect even from bed and breakfasts.

The first thing that is common to most budget hotel reviews is the lack of cleanliness factor. Not only the rooms but the hotels in general are dirty. The housekeeping service is very poor. Most of the times, they just empty the bins, and that is it. They do not even replace the bathroom towels on a daily basis.

Secondly, most budget hotels count with a staff that is not helpful but rather unfriendly. Many times, this leads to misunderstandings, especially when checking out. Sometimes people are overcharged, and the staff is not willing to help them to get to the bottom of the issue.

In addition, the staff that works at budget hotels is not very helpful when it comes to giving advice on tourist attractions or restaurants. It seems like the price only includes the room, so you cannot expect anything more, not even a knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Another big issue that is common to most budget hotels is their location. They are either located in bad neighborhoods or far from the town or city center. For that reason you end up spending a lot of money on transportation, and your budget hotel ends up costing you more than expected.

A big problem with budget hotels is that sometimes they have hidden fees that added to the base price, end up making quite a significant figure. For example, in some budget hotels, they charge you an extra fee for air conditioning and even for fans. Also, they charge you extra if you need crockery.

Also you will find that several hotels advertise services that they do not actually offer. For example, a budget hotel may advertise a heated swimming pool, but when you get there you might find out that the swimming pool is in a gym a few blocks away, and that you have to pay an extra fee for it.

With budget hotels many times what is cheap ends up being expensive. Be extra careful when choosing your accommodation. Remember that it is always better to pay a bit more and stay at a nice hotel, than trying to save money and ending up at shabby, fleabag hotels.
