Trying to pick the right hotel for your next vacation can be overwhelming – in many places, you’ll find hundreds of chain hotels or independent ones. They all look great in the photos and have good reviews – and some not so good ones! There are even some hotels that look like great deals – too good to be true? To make sure your home away from home enhances your travel experience and doesn’t ruin it, it helps to know more! Is earning points at a chain hotel worth the higher price?
