If you use anything else or request anything extra, the hotel will probably charge you for that. That is how they make loads of cash! For example, if you plan to use the pool, then be ready to shed some dollars for a very fat bill that you will get when you’re trying to check out.

Pictures are always fine and dandy; the reality, however, is mostly a stranger to those pictures. Hotels often spend a lot of money trying to represent themselves as beautiful places to be in.
They will hire professional photographers and make sure that the rooms are in top shape before they take any pictures.
Moreover, they tend to distort reality as well: a small room will be shot with a wide-angle, fisheye lens to make it seem spacious than it actually is; and the hotel pool will be shot showing clear, blue water without having anyone inside it.
What you need to take from all of this is the necessity of being cautious whenever you’re trying to book a hotel room online. Moreover, you need to tell the hotel staff about anything that is out of the ordinary and ask them to honor what they advertised on their websites.
Before you go, tell us in the comments below if you ever booked a hotel room that turned out very different than it was advertised.
