Hotel Reservations

by Wendy VanHatten

What do you do if you arrive at your hotel and the front desk tells you they have no reservation for you?

Did you print all confirmation documents and file them away the very minute you booked your hotel online? Then, did you bring a copy with you when you checked in? You could even have two copies. One in your carry-on bag and a second one with your travel companion.

If you’ve booked your accommodations over the phone, ask for email confirmation as well as the name of the customer-service agent with whom you’ve spoken. Then keep that info with you as well.

To be even more organized, forward all necessary documents to an itinerary app. It’s also not a bad idea before you take off on your vacation to confirm all hotel and restaurant reservations at least one week in advance.
