What do you look for when you book an airport hotel and how do you know the hotel you select offers the amenities and features you seek?  You could call the concierge desk, probably wait on hold for a bit, and run through a checklist.  Doing that, you could find out the features offered by a hotel, but you may not receive all the pertinent information.  That’s not to say the individuals at the concierge desk don’t wish to be helpful, but it’s difficult to anticipate a customer’s needs over the phone, and unless you know all the questions to ask, you might miss out on information such as free WI-FI being provided in a business center as opposed to your room.  Furthermore, that phone call can take a long while, even if you’re not placed on hold.

When you reserve with ParkSleepFly, you don’t have to make that phone call.  Each hotel description includes important information about various amenities including internet access, laundry services, workout rooms, pools, restaurants and perhaps even local transportation.  It’s not enough though, to simply know whether or not those services exist.  If there are stipulations surrounding the availability of  particular amenity, you can learn that information on ParkSleepFly.  Maybe the internet access isn’t wireless?  Perhaps laundry services involve dry cleaning.  Workout rooms and pools may only be open during certain hours.  Maybe one of the hotel restaurants requires a reservation and perhaps the local transportation will transport you within a specific radius of the hotel.

ParkSleepFly provides information, customer as well as industry hotel ratings, and a quoted price all on one page when you receive your free airport hotel quotes.  Rather than making a phone call to gain information for a hotel that may or may not offer free parking for the duration of your trip and to make your reservation, and then seek out parking reservations elsewhere, you can plan all of your non-airport travel needs (i.e. PSF won’t book your plane ticket) in one place, conveniently and well-informed.  Furthermore, your reservation receipt provides additional useful information regarding your check in, as well as directions to the airport hotel you selected.  Your receipt also confirms your rate, one of the many benefits of reserving ahead of time.

Recently, ForbesTraveler.Com named the one hundred best airport hotels, and the Fairmount Vancouver Airport Hotel at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) earned a place in their article and slideshow.  Hotels offering ParkSleepFly packages are becoming more and more commonplace, but that only makes those exceptional hotels stand out amongst the crowd.

So what can you look forward to if you elect to spend a luxurious night at the Fairmount before or after you fly out of YVR?  This airport hotel is soundproofed, which means a solid night’s sleep for a weary traveler.  Along with soundproofing, other amenities include award winning food and vistas of mountains peaks.  The rooms are not so large so as to feel palatial and impersonal, but you’re not exactly booking a room the size of a dorm-room closet either.

Where can you find the best rates for this four-star airport hotel?  ParkSleepFly is glad to help you reserve your room ahead of time so that you can enjoy this top-100 airport hotel.  Additional services offered by by the Fairmount include spa packages and air lines to cruise lines packages, all designed to complete your experience and provide you with the relaxation you deserve, whether you travel for business or vacation.

As airport hotels, along with other hotels, seek to find new fees (akin to those associated with minibar and ordering movies and food), travelers are looking for ways to spot unnecessary fees.  Another travel blog cited the reason for travelers being billed for unknown fees is that they’re in such a rush to leave the hotel in order to get to the airport on time that they don’t bother to look over the bill and verify that there aren’t any errors.  However, if these travelers stay at airport hotels instead of just hotels in the same city as the airport, then there would be no rush to sign the bill upon checking out.

First, it’s important to know the difference between a hotel and an airport hotel.  An airport hotel doesn’t simply mean the accommodations are close to an airport, but rather that an airport hotel offers a park sleep and fly package, combining a reservation in a hotel room with a parking space.  Airport hotels also offer complementary shuttles, along with an assortment of additional amenities that are sometimes specific to the particular airport hotel.

It is that complementary shuttle that makes all the difference.  Rather than rushing to meet a taxi so as to not rack up charges on the running meter, and perhaps not reading the bill carefully, travelers who stay at airport hotels, who can make use of the shuttles, have all the time they need to peruse each item listed on their check-out bill.  Are airport hotels trying to scam travelers?  Of course not; without travelers, airport hotels would be empty and then wouldn’t have any revenue whatsoever.  But travelers do need to remember that different hotels have different fee schedules, and also that mistakes can be made.  Reviewing a bill before signing for the charges can make travel less stressful; no one wants to return to a credit card bill that’s higher than anticipated simply because he or she stayed at a hotel instead of an airport hotel.

Of course, when travelers book with ParkSleepFly, there is no need for concern about extra hotel fees.  Travelers know exactly what to expect from each airport hotel because PSF provides detailed information during the search process.
