Is there lounge access?

Lounges typically offer snacks and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the day. Many lounges outside the USA and Canada offer buffet dinner service and free-flow wine, beer and cocktails in the evening. Usually, hotels have their lounge on the upper floors so visitors can enjoy a better view from the hotel.

Conclusion

Find a hotel with a price point that suits you. If you plan to be out of the hotel for the entire day or rather explore the city and try the food the city has to offer, you may opt for a lower priced hotel that doesn’t have breakfast or lounge. Otherwise, the complimentary breakfast and lounge access has very good value.
