Question: When travelling to a foreign country, some people like staying in internationally-recognized hotels, while others prefer to stay in small local hotels. Compare and contrast these two choices. Nowadays, traveling abroad is thought as a kind of modern. One of the most important things before going abroad is to book hotels. Let me tell the differences between the internationally-recognized hotel and the small local one. Environment is the first thing we will consider when we are choosing hotels. The internationally-recognized hotels have a lot of rooms, but the small local hotels only have a few rooms. So the internationally-recognized hotel is much more noisy and crowded than the small local ones. However, it is not safe if we don’t know the background of the small local hotels. The style of rooms in internationally-recognized hotels is simpler than it in small local ones. Whenever we go, if we live in the internationally-recognized hotels, the styles of rooms are almost the same. If we live in small local hotels, we can see many different local characteristics, enjoy local culture and customs. Every time we go to a new country, we can experience another kind of feeling. It makes us feel novel and surprised. Secondly, service is also important. Without doubt, the service in the internationally-recognized hotels is comprehensive and thoughtful. For example, you can tell the front desk about morning call, then every morning you can hear it at the same time you request, you don’t need to worry about your phone forget to wake you up. If you need some daily supplies, you can also call the front desk and they will send it to your room after a few minutes. When you live in the internationally-recognized hotels, if you want to know the information about travelling, don’t worry about your language problem, there may have Chinese speakers help you, to let you get the answers at once. However, most of the small local hotels do not have front desks. You need to get all the things by yourself instead of room delivery service so that the hosts will make a good impression to you. If you have questions about travelling, you can only ask the local people. If you don’t understand their local language, you need to find the places by yourself. It wastes a long time.
The foods in different hotels are also different. The internationally-recognized hotels provide many kinds of food to suit people from different cities, such as Chinese food, Japanese food and so on. We can choose which food we like by ourselves. In the small local hotels, the host will also provide the meals. But there won’t be so many choices for you to choose. Some of them even prepare the same food for everyone. Although you can have a try of their local foods, it is embarrassed if you really couldn’t adapt them. The last one is people who live in different hotels. In the internationally-recognized hotels, it is easy for you to meet the people from the same country as you. You can ask questions to them, and quickly understand what they are talking about. Although the small local hotels have a few persons, it is a good chance for you to make friends with the host or the people from different countries. And you can also know about the local culture from the host to enrich your knowledge and enlarge your views. 7/1/2016
