Stay Notes is a travel magazine focused on where to stay. We publish hotel reviews, neighborhood guides, and booking advice so readers planning trips from the United States and Canada can compare options in clear, practical English.
What we cover
Our stories look at location, room quality, amenities, who a hotel is (and is not) a good fit for, and what to verify before you book. We prioritize destinations that North American travelers actually search for — from Tokyo, Seoul, and Bangkok to London, Paris, and beyond.
How we work
Reviews are written for a US and Canadian audience: USD-first booking context, English place names, and tips that cover plugs, payments, and arrival logistics. We use publicly available hotel listing data alongside editorial analysis. Live rates, room availability, and cancellation terms should always be confirmed on the booking site before you pay.
How we stay independent
Stay Notes may earn a commission when you book through partner links (including Agoda and Booking.com). That never changes the price you pay. Read our Affiliate Disclosure and Privacy Policy for full details.
