Insider tips
Be sure to ask about the hotel's parking arrangement, as it's not specified in the data. You may want to request a room closer to the parking entrance for convenience. Consider requesting a room with a window that opens, as this may help with ventilation and reduce the need for air conditioning, which can be a relief in the local climate.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
