Hotel Brochure/Website Terminology

**Bumper** · 06-26-2006

We all know how misleading the description of hotels and motels can be. So, with input from Tony & Cheri at Luna Blue, Kim at Fusion, and Steve at Playa Maya, we put together a translation table to help you out. So when you see one of the phrases listed on the left, you will know what it really means by reading the translation on the right!

Old world charm - No bath
Tropical - Rainy
Majestic setting - A long way from town
Options galore - Nothing is included
Secluded hideaway - Impossible to find or get to
Pre-registered rooms - Already occupied
Explore on your own - Pay for it yourself
Knowledgeable trip hosts - They've flown in an airplane before
No extra fees - No extras
Nominal fee - Outrageous charge
Standard - Sub-standard
Deluxe - Standard
Superior - One free shower cap
Cozy - Small
All the amenities - Two free shower caps
Plush - Top and bottom sheets
Gentle breezes - Occasional Gale-force winds
Light and airy - No air conditioning
Picturesque - Theme park nearby
Open bar - Free ice cubes
Concierge - Wire stand, with out-of-date tourist brochures, in lobby
Continental breakfast - Free muffin
