This year for Christmas, instead of my husband and myself buying gifts for eachother - we decided to treat eachother to a night TOGETHER!  Having a hectic and busy job (him) and myself being a stay-at-home-mama to our 22 month old, we thought it would be nice to get away for a night and spend some quality time together.   As it was Christmas time, our funds were on the low side (...

A recent business trip took me to Nashville, TN.  The company put me up in the Holiday Inn at Brentwood.  Brentwood is a suburb type area of Nashville and is relatively close to downtown.  On approach the hotel was very easy to get into, with all the enterances from the road clearly marked.  However, it only had one enterance to the lobby, and that door sometimes was a littl...

My family and I stayed at the Hampton Inn in Wheeling West Virginia last year while visiting the area for the Oglebay Festival of Lights Display. I chose the Hampton Inn because it is in a good location at 795 National Road Wheeling, being a main road near a lot of things. We got a King suite room, which had one king bed and a fold out sofa, so that made for a little more room when the sofa was...

We stayed at the Sleep Inn Midway center in October 2007 prior to our flight out of Midway airport. The hotel is located 2 miles from the airport in a complex of 6 or 7 hotels. We ended up at the Sleep Inn simply because it was the cheapest of all of them. Check in was very pleasant, there is a $10 per day parking charge but I knew that ahead of time and the room was still $75 less than the oth...

I recently had the need to travel to  Birmingham, Alabama for work.  Our regular hotel was starting to go downhill, so we chose to stay at the Fairfield Inn in Fultondale, AL.  The outside appearance of the hotel was quite nice. It looks like a fairly new hotel and it had ample parking. While checking in, the staff was very pleasant to deal with.  The room that I had wa...

We recently had to travel to Arkadelphia, Arkansas. We stayed 3 nights at the Quality Inn located at 150 Valley StArkadelphia, AR 71923. This is a two star motel but it is descent and clean. It is located about one hour from Little Rock, Arkansas and about 20 minutes from Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is also very convienent to the highway.  The staff were very friendly. They even gave us a $1...

My family moved two years ago cross country from South Carolina to Northern California. It was a very long and scenic drive through I-40. We stopped at many hotels, but the best one by far was the Holiday Inn Express in Flagstaff, Arizona.The Holiday Inn in Flagstaff just seemed to have that perfect location to truly, truly relax in between traveling days.  It is situated off of a main exi...

Last month my family stayed at a Country Inn and Suites for the first time- and we are so glad we did!  We had booked the hotel online for a "park and fly" rate, because we were flying out of the nearby Baltimore Airport very early the next morning.  With the park and fly rate, you pay for one night lodging, and you get up to 10 nights free parking at the hotel during your t...

My husband I went to Chicago in February of 2007 to attend a Golf Convention at the Hilton Garden Inn, located near the Magnificent Mile in downtown Chicago. They have very nice conference rooms for business meetings. We stayed at the Hotel and it was very gorgeous! We had our vehicle picked up by the valet which was only $20 cheaper than parking it ourselves. The lobby was beautiful with ...

The Inn at Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge, TN is amazing! Some of you may have heard of the Christmas Place.

Me and my husband recently traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas. We stayed at this Comfort Inn on 300 Markham Center Dr. Overall it was a nice hotel. The staff were very friendly. The accomodations were clean. We payed $79+tax for 1 night, which is what we paid when we stayed at a neighboring La Quinta. You can tell this hotel is a little older but it is well kept up. I liked that their contental ...

Over the years, I've traveled many, many times. Usually, this means I need to find a hotel room, which is a hassle to me. I first discovered Red Roof Inn while visiting Kansas City about 30 years ago. They had a brand new facility and rooms cost $19.95. It was perfect for what I needed. When I travel, I am going to visit people or do some sightseeing. I'm not there to swim in the hotel ...

On the Northern California coast, there is a magical place-The Inn At The Tides. This was for years our great good spot to run to when life got too much. Just driving up the hill to Pelican, our special nest, set the mood for the entire stay. This is a quiet unassuming place on the surface. Its homely weathered cedar shingled buildings seem to vanish in the frequent mists that crown the upper h...

My husband and I stayed at the Gazebo Inn one time and I think that it will be the last. Not because the hotel is bad, it is just not the type of hotel that we like to stay at while at the beach.  The owners of the hotel always stared at us. It made us feel like we were doing something wrong. The parking area was not that great. I don't think that there were even enough spaces for all ...

The Hampton Inn at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach South Carolina is a great place to stay.  The hotel is not on the beach but it is only a short drive to get to the beach. Even though the hotel is not on the beach doesn't mean you will not have a wonderful time. The hotel is located in the middle in a 350 acre dining, shopping and entertainment complex. There are many famous res...

My husband and I have stayed at the Best Western Normandy Inn and Suites in downtown Minneapolis, MN several times.  Our latest experience wasn't the greatest as far as the condition of the room. The location is easy to get to, the parking is convenient and secure at a good price.  The hotel itself is pretty and seems to be very clean. However when we checked into our room, we fou...
