Travel Tip #26

Hotel Tip #4 Beware of Hotel Cancellation Policies.

Most major hotels do not charge you until you check out and will allow you to cancel up to the day you are scheduled to arrive without a penalty. That is not always the case with smaller, family-run lodgings. These places have a tighter budget and fewer rooms, so last minute cancellations can ...
