If it matters that your hotel is, for example, on the beach, close to the theme park, or convenient for the airport, then location is paramount. Any decent directory should offer a location map of the hotel and its surroundings. There should be distance charts to the airport offered as well as some form of interactive map.
As the saying goes: “Hospitality is making your guests feel at home, even though you wish they were". So please treat the place and the building neighbours as you would do your own.
