  2. Check the room setupFor families or small groups, compare separate sleeping areas, bed counts, living space and maximum occupancy rather than choosing by room category alone.
  3. Verify laundry accessConfirm whether laundry is in the room, on the property or nearby, and ask about operating hours and payment before committing to a long stay.
  4. Ask about pet conditionsIf traveling with an animal, verify permitted sizes or species, fees, room restrictions and any rules for leaving pets unattended.
