Lodgings play a significant role in how enjoyable a getaway is. Many vacationers debate between booking a hotel or a vacation rental. Each option presents pros and cons to weigh before deciding which property suits your lifestyle and needs best.

Hotel

Hotels are designed for convenience. Guests never have to clean and can address virtually all their needs on-demand through the concierge and on-site services. Amenities may range from on-site restaurants and attractions, and hotels are often located close to or even within walking distance to local hot spots. Many people enjoy the predictability of a hotel since it’s run on a schedule, which is why the home-like amenities and features of a vacation rental aren’t always needed. They tend to have significantly less space and privacy, though. If you have pets, it may be more difficult to find a property that will accommodate them. Finally, hotels can be expensive, but online deals and off-peak pricing often make highly-rated resorts with luxury amenities attainable.

Vacation Rental

Families usually book vacation rentals through an agency, giving meaning direct contact with a representative throughout the stay. Generally, guests enjoy a much larger, more intimate setting. These units are often standalone, meaning no noisy neighbors. Even in a condo situation, you’ll enjoy more space than the average hotel room provides. Kids and pets usually have much more freedom at a vacation rental, and you can also count on having a space that feels like home. However, you won’t have services and amenities areas like room service and gyms at your disposal. Many vacation rentals make up for this with pools or hot tubs, laundry rooms, and full kitchens to prepare your own meals. These properties are ideal if you have a large family vacationing together, or prefer to spend your vacation dollars on making memories than on creature comforts.
