TRAVEL FOR THE MOMENT

Hotels & Resorts for the Moments That Matter

Romantic Getaways

Choose privacy, atmosphere, dining and experiences that create time together.

Birthday Trips

Match the property to the celebration—from city weekends to resort escapes.

Family Vacations

Compare room configuration, pools, activities, kitchens and proximity to attractions.

Girls' & Friends' Trips

Look for shared spaces, walkable locations, dining and easy access to entertainment.

Anniversaries & Honeymoons

Prioritize setting, service and memorable experiences rather than room rate alone.

Weekend Getaways

Make a short trip count with the right location, check-in times and included amenities.

Understand the True Cost of a Hotel Stay

The advertised nightly rate rarely tells the whole story. Compare the complete stay before deciding which property delivers better value.

Costs to Check Before You Book

  • Nightly room rate
  • Taxes and required property fees
  • Resort or destination fees
  • Parking and valet charges
  • Breakfast and dining costs
  • Wi-Fi or premium connectivity
  • Transportation, rideshare or rental car needs
  • Early check-in, late checkout or optional upgrades

True Trip Price™ for Hotels

In Development

Explore Occasions is developing tools designed to help travelers compare more of the real costs surrounding a hotel or resort stay—not simply the advertised nightly rate.

Compare Value, Not Just Price

A more expensive room may deliver better total value if it reduces parking, transportation, meal or amenity costs. The lowest headline rate is not always the lowest-cost trip.

Hotels & Resorts FAQ

What is the difference between a hotel and a resort?

A hotel primarily provides lodging and related services, while a resort generally places more emphasis on recreation, dining, amenities or activities that can make the property itself part of the vacation experience.

Are resort fees included in the advertised room rate?

Not always. Required fees and taxes can be displayed differently depending on the property and booking source, so review the final price details before booking.

Is the cheapest hotel rate always the best deal?

No. Location, parking, breakfast, transportation, amenities and cancellation terms can materially change the total value of the stay.

Should I book a hotel near the attractions or farther away for a lower rate?

Compare the savings with the added cost and time of transportation. A centrally located property can sometimes reduce the total trip cost even when its nightly rate is higher.

How should I compare two resorts?

Compare room type, required fees, amenities, dining, location, transportation, cancellation terms and the experiences included or available at each property.
