Some things are so simple that you don’t even consider thinking about them. It’s almost as if your brain is saying, “This is too easy—how could it possible work?” Case in point: the way to get yourself a larger hotel room.
The trick of good photography is that it can make places like hotel rooms look far bigger than they really are. Cue the disappointment when you finally check in and discover your room is barely large enough to swing a cat in.
If that is the case, there are a few things you can do.
One option is to politely ask the staff at reception whether there are any free upgrades. Something like this will eventually depend on how full the hotel is. The worst they can say is no.
Another option—which is much likelier to work—is to request a corner room.
Based on the way that most hotels are built, corner rooms are slightly bigger than average rooms. However, they are not big enough that they would be considered suites and cost you a small fortune. Sounds like a win to us!
So, next time you’re on vacation, keep to the corners.
