阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每空一词。 Pretty much anyone can book a trip, but not everyone plan a perfect adventure that's affordable, accommodating, and fun for everyone in your group. Here are some insider tips that we'd like to share with you about Hotels. Check Distance on a Map It is not uncommon for hotels to advertise their proximity(邻近) to attractions and services around town. If being close to a particular airport or landmark important for your trip, verify distances on Google Maps before you book a hotel. Skip the Package Deals To attract new guests, sometimes these deals that sound exciting but may not be worth it. Just know that sometimes these packages include things you don't even want or need and that the special rate could be higher than the regular rate. Don't Pay for the Mini Bar Mini bar charges are frequently disputed because they are stocked by hand and often miscalculated. Carefully review your hotel's itemized bill and if you see any mini bar charges that aren't right, dispute them. Most front desk staff won’t hesitate to void the charges. Understand Room Preferences Aren't Guaranteed Hotel booking include preferences like bed size and the number of beds. But in many hotels, travelers should know that these preferences aren’t guaranteed. You’ll usually get what you asked for, but not always. Mention Special Occasions Many of us travel for birthday, anniversaries, and special events. Mention what you're celebrating to the hotel staff a week or more before you arrive and you might be surprised, like a bottle of champagne in your room. Be Polite to the Staff A little niceness goes a long way, especially with hotel staff that has to deal with difficult guests on a regular basis. When you check in, simply ask how the front desk clerk's day is going and say hello to the cleaning staff when you pass them in the hall. This isn't just common courtesy, but it also increases your chances of getting perks(额外待遇) during your stay. Bundle(捆绑) a Hotel Stay with Airfare If you've got your trip all planned out and know your itinerary, consider building your hotel room with your airfare for better price. Some websites offer travel packages that combine both accommodations and flights, which can help you save significantly on your hotel room. Ask for a Corner Room When you check in at a hotel, discretely ask if there's a corner room available. These are usually larger and quieter for the same price as ones in the middle of the hall. Upgrades are most often offered at the end of the day when hotels have a better sense of their occupancy.
