AT
A HOTEL
Cultural Notes
There
are
different
categories
of
hote/s
rang
ing
from
/uxury,
e.
g.,
Intercontinenta/ (in /arge cities),
to
first, second,
and
third
category. You'l/
of
course
find
English-speaking peop/e in
the
more expensive hote/s. Neverthe/ess, sometimes
it
is
worth
checking
out
cheaper hote/s
as

II.
In Kraków,
for
examp/e, you may
want
to avoid the Holiday Inn,
where
you
would
pay
as
much
as
you
wou/d
in
the
States.
You cou/d
try
instead
the
"Hote/
Po/ski", which
will
cost
you
about
1/3
of
the
U.S.
price
and
is
centrally /ocated, nice/y decorated, has a charming
patio
and
a
beautifu/ view.
In /arge cities there
is
a severe
shortage
of
accommodations
and
usually
reservations are needed. In most resort areas, however, due
to
a sharp increase in
prices
and
the
generał
impoverishment
of
Polish society,
you
can easily
find
rooms in
hoteIs, mote/s, pensions,
and
private
homes. Standards
will
vary considerably,
50
it
pays
to
shop around.
