Travel: Don’t Know Where to Stay? Try a Mystery Hotel

Remember when ‘mystery flights’ were all the rage in the 1990s? The fact that you had no idea where you were going when you entered the airport, only added to the excitement as you headed off for what you hoped would be an ‘excellent’ adventure. Well now you can experience that feeling all over again when booking your hotel accommodation online.

Like the mystery flight, the mystery hotel leaves it to the hand of fate to decide one very important aspect of your trip – in this case, your hotel accommodation. But don’t worry, it’s not as dubious as it sounds. Unlike the mystery flight, you get to choose the destination and your mystery hotel will be located close to all the action. Try it for yourself. Check-In is a site I came upon the other week and I recommend checking it out for mystery hotel deals in Australia.

Still not convinced? Of course you’re not. I haven’t listed all the potential benefits yet. Take a look at these benefits:

Saves You Money

Like the mystery flight, the mystery hotel is usually offered at a discount and we’re not talking about 2½ star accommodation here. The mystery hotel deals I found online for Melbourne and Sydney were for 4½ and 5 star hotels. We’re talking luxury accommodation at a discount and who doesn’t love an upgrade! For many of us, booking a mystery hotel could be our best chance yet to experience a luxury hotel stay. And mystery hotels aren’t just for singles and couples either. I found a great deal for a family room at a 3½ star mystery hotel located right near Sydney Airport.

Saves You Time

With so many hotel deals on offer, booking a mystery hotel could save you hours of searching and sifting through dozens of hotel deals and the thousands of reviews posted online for your destination. Wouldn’t it be much easier just to book a 3½, 4 or 5 star mystery hotel with a website that is prepared to guarantee you the best rate for your room?

Add a Little Mystery

You know where you’re going and you have lots of activities planned for when you get there. Each tourist attraction has been meticulously researched ahead of time and everyone has offered their personal recommendation on where are the best places to eat. So where’s the mystery? With easy access to the internet, it’s now possible to learn everything you could possibly want to know about a destination before you reach the arrival gate at the airport. But if you’re going to take this approach, you might as well stay at home and watch the travel channel.

See It from a Different Point of View

If you’re making a return trip to your destination or if you travel to the same destination regularly for business, it’s more likely than not that you plan to stay in the same hotel. How do I know this? Because you’re a human being and most of us don’t like change. But even if you like the hotel where you usually stay, a mystery hotel stay could liven up even the most boring, routine business trip.

When You Just Don’t Know Where to Stay

Last but certainly not least, a mystery hotel is the perfect solution when you know don’t know where to stay. With so many travel sites, hotel deals and reviews posted online, it’s easy to see how anyone can become overwhelmed by the sheer number of options available to travellers. The mystery hotel simplifies the process making it much easier to book accommodation for your next trip.
