Worth doing before you book
Look at your tour confirmation: the meeting spot can differ by day or by program. Ask the hotel about parking; near many campuses it costs extra or is off site. Touring two schools in one day? Leave room for lunch and the drive between them. For move-in or graduation, ask about minimum stays and the cancellation deadline.
