A few years back, I took my first trip to Japan and had the privilege of staying in six different hotels all over Okinawa. It was one of the best experiences of my life! Some hotels were nicer than others, some had more character, better food, etc etc the list goes on. What makes a good hotel? A place where you feel like you’re home essentially. What makes a bad hotel? The better ones must be managed with some kind of hotel property management software so they can make the numbers work for them to provide a better service to their guests surely?

One of the hotels I had stayed at said they had a restaurant that served dinner at 6 PM. 6 PM rolls around and we find that this restaurant is actually in a basement and not a restaurant. It looked like a cafeteria with NO ONE there and food in bulk served all you can eat…or at your own risk. When I mean no one, I mean it was my family and I. Not even the staff was sighted. The atmosphere seriously made me feel like I was in a horror movie. We didn’t eat dinner. How did the hotel redeem itself? They helped us contact another hotel and a taxi that would transport us there. 🙂

Trip Advisor just posted ten hotels they recommend you NOT stay at. And I would take their advice because there are plenty of unhappy guests that can vouch for them.
