6Reservations: Dublin 01 6733800 or Belfast 028 9051 1800At American Holidays the wellbeing and safety of our customers is a highpriority. One of the joys of travelling abroad is experiencing the different wayof life in other countries. However, it is important to remember that safety andhygiene standards in some destinations differ from those we take for granted at home. Hotels,apartments, homes and other facilities will be obliged to meet local safety regulations, butthese do not always match Irish standards, which are among the highest in the world. Wetherefore strongly recommend that upon arrival in resort, you and your family should familiariseyourselves with your accommodation and its safety procedures, as a safeguard in the unlikelyevent of an emergency. How To Choose My Hotel & Room TypeOur reference to hotel in this brochure covers all accommodation and does not necessarily distinguishbetween local classifications such as "motel" or "Inn". Most hotel rooms in the US consist of 2 double bedsand can sleep up to 4 people. In many hotels, where the maximum occupancy of the room exceeds thenumber of beds listed in the brochure description a roll away bed can be provided at a charge ofapproximately $25.00 per night usually payable locally. New York is an exception to this rule where in manycases a twin room may consist of two single beds or one double bed and bedding usually cannot beguaranteed. It is important to note that the size of rooms in New York is exceptionally smaller in comparisonto rooms in Florida. All prices in this brochure are based on "Standard Rooms". In many properties we have various differentroom types, while our prices are based on "Standard Rooms" we can in most cases give you a quotationin an upgraded room type i.e. poolside, beach view, suite etc, these different room types are available at apremium. A number of the properties which feature in our brochure, being low rise properties do not insome instances have lift facilities. If it is imperative to your requirements that your accommodation providesa lift facility please ensures that you bring this matter to our attention at the time of booking. American Holidays Star RatingsIn the U.S. there is no uniform grading system for hotels. So American Holidays has created its own gradingsystem. This system is based on a broad spectrum of factors ranging from location to facilities, from valuefor money to general standards of service and design. What is an important factor in choosing youraccommodation in Orlando may not even be considered when picking a hotel in New York. In some casesprices can be an indication of the standard of the property but inevitably there are differences from placeto place. Do remember when choosing your hotel that if you pay the lowest price you cannot expect thehighest standard of accommodation - very often by paying a little extra, you can make a good holiday atruly memorable one. A half star is used when we feel the standard of the property is between categories.
