During these difficult economy times like now it can be easy to put trips on hold or to not take one at all. Sometimes though they are just as important as your daily tasks. A weekend away can help families spend some quality time together, they can help strengthen a relationship, or they can give some well needed alone time...
Fall is the perfect time to get away- great weather, not too hot or buggy, the beautiful fall foliage, and fall foods are some of my personal favorites. I love long weekends this time of year, and highly recommend grabbing the spouse and kids, hitting the road, and finding an interesting destination.
One thing you never want to worry about when you travel, is the sort of hotel you will wind up staying in. It can be hard to book online- so many places "fluff" the reviews by having friends and family members post positive ones, and people generally only post ratings on hotels if they loved it or truly hated it. Sometimes I read them and am amazed at the crazy things people will write about.
It can sometimes be simpler to stick with a hotel brand that you know, like Country Inn and Suites. I would venture to say that no matter where you plan to stay, there will be a location nearby (even out of the USA, they have quite a presence). More then once, I have ended up in a hotel that was pretty "rough", had beds that looked like they had never been deep
cleaned, or where the soles of our feet turned black with the grime from the room's carpeting. I can honestly say I have never been disappointed in a stay with Country Inn and Suites. Great breakfasts, and many of the hotels even offer free cookies, drinks, and popcorn in the evening.
