Before you book
What to check before paying.
1
Prioritize exact walking distance to the attractions you will actually visit.
2
Check parking fees and whether parking is guaranteed.
3
Map the walks to your planned meals and attractions before deciding whether a downtown room is worth the price.
4
Ask about room location and road noise if quiet evenings matter to you.
Area notes
What to know about the area
Ask about your room
If noise affects your sleep, ask which rooms face the street and read recent reviews for the property. A downtown location does not tell you how a particular room will sound at night.
Compare the full cost
Include hotel parking and any parking you would use at your destinations when comparing room prices. Decide how much being able to walk matters to your group.
