Our reviews (and rates) use the following room types:
* single occupancy (s)
* double occupancy (d)
* room (r), same rate for one or two people
* dorm bed (dm)
* suite (ste)
* apartment (apt)
Unless otherwise noted, rates do not include breakfast, bathrooms are private and all lodging is open year-round.
Rates don't include taxes, which vary considerably between towns; in fact, hotels almost never include taxes and fees in their rate quotes, so always ask for the total rate with tax. Florida's sales tax is 6%, and some communities tack on more. States, cities and towns also usually levy taxes on hotel rooms, which can increase the final bill by 10% to 12%.
Quoted rates are usually 'high season' rates, unless rates are distinguished as winter/summer or high/low season. Note that 'high season' can mean summer or winter depending on the region.
Our hotel price indicators refer to standard double rooms:
* $ less than $100
* $$ $100–200
* $$$ more than $200
These price indicators are guidelines only. Many places have certain rooms that cost above or below their standard rates, and seasonal/holiday fluctuations can see rates rise and fall dramatically, especially in Orlando and tourist beach towns. Specific advice for the best rates varies by region, and is included throughout: on the one hand, booking in advance for high-season tourist hotspots (like beaches and Orlando resorts) can be essential to ensure the room you want. On the other, inquiring at the last minute, or even same-day, can yield amazing discounts on any rooms still available.
