There are photos online and video tours of every hotel room on the planet. Check before booking.

I saw an interview with this person. Often the photos of rooms will be taken from the door-frame of the bathroom looking in or out. So not obvious if there is an actual door.

  • This is where you can practice human interaction and call or email the hotel.

    • I just feel like this becomes time consuming after a while. Will there be soap? Toilet paper? A bed? You don't know unless you ask! But ... c'mon ... they can just tell you on the website.

There will be photos of an example room, with zero guarantee the room you get will be the same.

  • Typically chain hotels are very careful about making sure everything in a picture is representative of the room to avoid this exact conflict.

    Often this does mean that the pictures are lacking.
