What exactly is a hotel deposit for reservation?

Q. I booked a hotel in Orlando today and they took one night room rate out of the two nights stay as a deposit to hold my room. Does that deposit go towards the total amount? Or will I be charged the total amount when I check in/out of the hotel or just the second night room rate? I'm confused.

A. It goes towards the total amount. If you do not cancel the reservation before a certain time, usually 24 to 48 hours before check in, you lose the deposit.

Some hotels take the money immediately and some wait until check in time. Read the fine print. Some have no refund at all.

Which Universal Orlando Resort Hotel is the best?
Q. We are a family of 4 and were going to Universal Orlando this Summer. But which resort is better?
The Hard Rock Hotel Orlando Deluxe Queen Room
or
The Loews Portofino Bay Hotel Orlando Deluxe Queen Room

Thank You.

A. I stay at both of the hotels at least twice a year.

Personally, I'm in love with both. The Hard Rock is typically better for a party or celebration, also great for relaxing, but there's always a lot of hype going on. They only have one pool, which kinda is a bummer.
The Portifino Bay, though, is so relaxing. I was just there in September (last time I stayed there, but I was just visiting there the other day), I love the atmosphere, they have 2 pools, the rooms are really nice and luxurious. And the best thing about it, in my opinion, is that it's so much less crowded than the Hard Rock.

For my eighteenth birthday this year I'm staying at both of the hotels. I can't just decide on one anymore! haha, that would be my suggestion.
But of course, when you stay at one, you can always use the amenities of the other.

And upgrade to club level! Always a must for free drinks and food! :D

How do I send mail to someone staying at a hotel?
Q. There's something I want to buy and have delivered to a friend staying at a hotel in Orlando/Florida. How to I write the addres? I don't know the room number, can I address it to the hotel and ask to deliver to this guest? Also, how long does it usually take? They are only staying until saturday morning. Thank you.

A. You DON'T need a room number,
John Doe
c/o Hotel such and such
123 main street
etc.

However, there is NO way that it will arrive by Friday so that he could get it then. Whenever he leaves on Saturday, it will almost certainly be before the mail arrives.

What questions may I be asked while on my interview for a Reservations Agent at a five star hotel?

Q. Pretty soon I should be having an interview with the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver for a full time Reservation Agent. What questions should I be ready to answer? What kinds of questions should I ask in return? A. They will probably first ask you to talk about yourself and work experience, and they will ask you about your availabilty. They might ask if you've ever worked at a 5-star hotel before and how you would handle a difficult situation/unhappy guest. They might also ask how well you know the area. I would ask them how busy they typically are, what type of training they provide and what shifts they're looking for someone to work.

Can you take the El from Chicago Midway Airport to the downtown hotel Intercontinental? Q. We are trying to find the best way to the Intercontinental hotel from the airport. A.

How much money should I bring for my trip to Japan?

Q. Some friends and I are planning on making a good 3 month long trip to Japan. We are considering backpacking to save on hotel fee's, but aren't ruling out the possibility. Are there any hostels in Japan? How much money should each person plan on bringing to support themselves for the whole trip? A. Coming over, eh? I've been here for 3 years now, and I can't really say how much you'll need. It depends on what you plan to do. Japan does indeed have hostels. They're pretty cheap. THere are also places called pod hotels, where you basically slepp in a pod, and everything else is communal. Those run about $30-35 a night. There are also comic book/relaxation stores that let people sleep there for free. They have showers, but not much else. I recommend Japanhotels.net to get a good idea of how much a room will run you. So, estimate about $50 a day for lodging. You can actually eat pretty cheap in Japan, if you like ramen and cheap sushi. I'd say abo
