Reading the reviews written by tourists and frequent visitors to the vacation destinations in Florida will leave you thoroughly confused. The reviews, specially the ones that talk about the hotels in Florida range from those expressing utter dissatisfaction and disgust, to ecstatic happiness. Yet, studying these reviews carefully before confirming your reservations with any of the hotels is a very prudent step.
Some of the reviews will tell you that trusting the pictures displayed on the websites of some of the hotels can indeed be extremely misleading. While the picture might tell you that the hotel is nothing less than a luxury resort at dirt cheap rates, on your arrival do not be shocked if the hotel is nothing but dirty with zero availability of even the basic facilities.
A lot of customers who have visited the Florida hotels complain that the cost of the room displayed on the websites are often misleading. The costs of the rooms many a times do not even include basic services like parking. Some of the customers end up paying more than $100 extra, just for such basic accommodations.
Some of the reviews reveal shocking acts, unscrupulously displayed false advertisements by some hotels. There have been incidences when people have entered their rooms to find that even the faintest sounds made by the people living in the room next to theirs could be heard with utmost clarity. The shower would change the temperature of the water dispensed according to its own whims and fancies, the basic toiletries like towels were also in short supply and instead of an ocean front view, their room had the view of nothing but an old and abandoned building.
Despite such reviews most people swear by the fact that no matter how bad the accommodation might have been the picturesque locales of Florida more than make up for the horrible hotel experiences. So, do not let anything deter you from making that trip to Florida, just make sure you are well informed about the hotel you are choosing.
