So as you know I have been doing a lot of traveling lately and have been trying out every single different hotel I could find along the way. I have always been interested in how they are different as well as how national chains maintain consistency from hotel to hotel.
(BTW- You should have seen the DUMP I crashed in two nights ago….it was very, very old, yet oddly very clean and extremely well maintained….still kinda scary- I would have taken some pictures if I wasnt so darn tired. Just goes to show you will crash just about anywhere if you are tired enough).
One hotel I was a little disappointed with was the Holiday Inn Express in Dallas. For all the clever commercials they have, it wasnt much different than a stay at a Hampton Inn or Comfort Inn, yet the charge almost twice the amount.
I am interested, what is the best nationwide hotel value, meaning for what you pay, what is the best experience in your opinion? I really liked Hampton Inn, they seemed to be the most consistent to me.
You can add entries if you like, just please make sure its a nation wide hotel.
I love the Marriott, definately recommend it! For fun though, check out Priceline.com and Bid on a room. I have litterally stayed in a 5 star hotel for $25. A Great Deal, But Also Kinda Fun!
ps. love those sky shots – I’m just learning how to take a sky I like, and insert it into a picture with a blah sky-easy stuff after all !!!
I really don’t travel much to have a say but next time your in Dallas give me a shout my family and I will treat you to dinner.
im sorry Alexandra! It was only for the night and it was very late. Please forgive me…. 🙂
I’ve had consistently good experiences with Comfort Inn, Days Inn and (to my surprise) Econo Lodge. I use them when available during business travels. At the end of a long day I just want to shower and crash in a comfortable environment for which I didn’t get robbed blind. I like their anemities and they are clean & staff is friendly. ~S~
