Frequently Asked Questions  
5. Hotel and Room Type
Our reference to hotel in our brochure covers all accommodation and does not necessarily distinguish between local classifications such as “Motel” or “Inn”. Most hotel rooms in the US consist of 2 double beds and can sleep up to 4 people. In our prices 2, 3 and 4 share such a room.

In many hotels, where the maximum occupancy of the room exceeds the number of beds listed in the brochure description a roll away bed can be provided at a charge of approximately $20.00 per night usually payable locally. New York is an exception to this rule where in many cases a twin room may consist of two single beds or one double bed.
It is important to note that the size of rooms in New York are exceptionally smaller in comparison to rooms in Florida.

All prices in the brochure are based on “Standard Streetside Rooms”. In many properties we have various different room types, while our prices are based on “Standard streetside Rooms” we can in most cases give you a quotation in an upgraded room type i.e. poolside, beach view, suite etc, these different room types are available at a premium.

For example you may have the main body of the hotel which contains the reception, restaurant, bar and some bedrooms etc, and several annex containing further bedrooms, your room may be situated in any of these buildings.

A number of the properties which feature in our brochure, being low rise properties do not in some instances have lift facilities. If it is imperative to your requirements that your accommodation provides a lift facility please ensure that you bring this matter to our attention at the time of booking.

Suites: Suites are usually a different room configuration in the hotels discussed above. "Suite" is a room that is offers more space than a standard hotel room and usually is equipped with a kitchenette. The "Suite" room type will be one large room with a sitting area. The sleeping area will be part of the room and not sectioned off from the sitting room.

Apartment: The word "Apartment" suggests that any and all bedrooms are separate to the sitting area. You will need to refer to the specific accommodation for details on what the apartment is equipped with.
6. American Holidays Star Ratings
In the U.S. there is no uniform grading system for hotels. So American Holidays has created its own grading system. This system is based on a broad spectrum of factors ranging from location to facilities, from value for money to general standards of service and design. What is an important factor in choosing your accommodation in Orlando may not even be considered when picking a hotel in New York. In some cases prices can be an indication of the standard of the property but inevitably there are differences from place to place. Do remember when choosing your hotel that if you pay the lowest price you cannot expect the highest standard of accommodation – very often by paying a little extra, you can make a good holiday a truly memorable one.

*** Good medium standard accommodation offering a range of facilities
