At Tripslnsider.com, we have a powerful tool, Travel Comparison, which aims to provide you with the best insider secrets in the travel business. Here are some insider tips that we’d like to share with you about Hotels.Check Distances on a MapIt is not uncommon for hotels to slightly exaggerate (夸大) the time and distance of getting to the attractions around town. If being close to a particular airport or landmark is important for your trip, check distances on maps before you book a hotel.Skip the Package DealsTo attract new guests, some hotels will offer themed package deals that sound exciting but may not be worth it. Just know that sometimes these packages include things you don’t even want or need and that the special rate could be higher than the regular rate.Understand Room Preferences Aren’t GuaranteedHotel bookings include preferences like bed size and the number of beds. But in many hotels, travelers should know that these preferences aren’t guaranteed. You’ll usually get what you asked for, but not always.Mention Special OccasionsMany of us travel for birthdays, anniversaries, and special events. Mention what you’re celebrating to the hotel staff a week or more before you arrive and you might be surprised with a little gift, like a bottle of champagne in your room.Ask for a Corner RoomWhen you check in at a hotel, ask if there’s a corner room available. These are usually larger and quieter for the same price as the ones in the middle of the hall. Upgrades are most often offered at the end of the day when hotels have a better sense of their occupancy (入住率).- 5 -Whether you plan to fly, drive, or cruise, become an expert trip planner by using our Travel Comparison APP for all your transportation and hotel needs.

Matt and Danielle were no different. These college sweethearts married young and like many young lovers, they believed that their love would sustain them indefinitely.Sadly, the best laid plans, even when they involve true love, rarely amount to a guarantee. As Matt left his home for work on one fateful morning, tragedy struck. As Matt made his way down the highway, he failed to notice that a jeep - 6 -had stopped abruptly. By the time he realized that the vehicle was right in front of him, it was too late. Ambulances soon arrived and took him to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, broken bones were the least of his problems. The crash had severely damaged his body and his brain. After 9 days in the hospital, Matt’s doctors were ready to turn off his life support machine. They predicted that he only had a 1% chance of ever waking up again and they suggested it would be better, and more humane, to let him die. However, Danielle was not about to give up on her love. More importantly, she found herself pregnant and she was not going to let her child grow up without a father. She believed in miracles.She brought her husband home but as time went on, Matt’s condition remained almost exactly the same. The days soon turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months.

One morning, something happened that hadn’t happened since the day of the accident: Matt opened his eyes, one week after his own baby.It was unbelievable, not only had Matt’s eyes finally opened, but he also began to follow Danielle and her mother around the room with his eyes as well.
