If you have an animal, be careful. Not only does Hotels.com charge you more for bringing a pet, but the motel staff also gets you with a surprise extra fee immediately upon arrival as well. Also, remember that even if you do have a crate for the animal, you still can't leave it alone in the room by itself. This other surprise fact ruined our entire trip, because my partner and I weren't even able to visit the waterpark next door together, which was the whole point of our vacation. So, we both just ended up not going at all. Unfortunately, we'll probably stay somewhere else next time.
