Of course, if you find a listing for cheap luxury hotels, than that’s definitely worth a look. There is the odd chance that it may be a scam, but there are ways you can weed out the bad seeds right away. A good hotel will be transparent in all aspects of what it offers, and that means being direct about all of its facilities. Some hotels will claim that they have a swimming pool “in good proximity” or a golf course “within walking distance”. This often means they’re far. A decent hotel will be realistic and true about how far these facilities are, and will also be keen to provide transportation to wherever you want to go.

Another thing to watch out for is the location of the hotel. Just because it claims to be “close to the center of town” or “in a good, safe neighborhood”, this doesn’t mean it’s true. Most good hotels offer pictures or the surroundings. A simple Google search and a search for reviews on the hotel will give you a good idea of how good it is.
