What is the difference between a 4-star and 3-star hotel in Descanso?
The key difference between a 3- and 4-star hotel in Descanso is the standard of service and access to creature comforts. Three-star hotels are generally more affordable and offer the services and conveniences you need for your comfort, such as WiFi, breakfast and a gym. You can expect a bit more at a 4-star hotel — think upscale décor, deluxe toiletries and extra touches like day spas.
What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Descanso?
A motel is a good option if you're gearing up to tour around Descanso. These escapes are usually found near airports and highways, offer ample parking and have basic amenities and services. Book a 3-star hotel and you'll be more centrally located. With a larger range of rooms and additional amenities like a fitness center, lobby and conference rooms, you can expect to pay more for hotel lodgings.
