Take Stress out of Summer Travel at Country Inns & Suites by Carlson Jenn, July 19, 2016 Sharing is caring! Share Tweet Pin Country Inns & Suites by Carlson make choosing a hotel for summer travel easy. With hotels all over the United States and Canada you are sure to find one during your planning stages. We still have plenty of summer left; so get out there and see why Country Inns & Suites is my family hotel preference. Country Inns & Suites Ashville, NC photo credit: Carlson Hotels It is no secret that I travel often; many times my flight schedule is crazy; so I will stay at the airport. I always stay at the Country Inns & Suites whether I am traveling alone or with my family. Let me share why and maybe you will choose them for your next weekend away or full weeks vacation. I am always ready to go somewhere… Inviting Lobby and Open Spaces When traveling for business I sometimes need a space to do work that is outside of my hotel room. Country Inns & Suites offer open lobby areas with free wi-fi and many outlets to stay plugged in. They also offer comfortable tables and chairs. Many hotels now don’t have a lobby you can actually relax in. It is also great when traveling with kids to have a place to take them to chill out a bit before heading up to the room. You can use a table for board-games or cards after a long day exploring your vacation destination. Lobby Area photo credit: Carlson Hotels Large Rooms I travel with two kids age seven and 16. My teenager wants her own space at the end of the day and I can’t blame her for that. Country Inns & Suites offer large rooms with two queen beds or a 1 bedroom suite with two queen beds and a pull out sofa in the living room. The option is always the one we choose as it gives us ample space as a family of four. You can also find a larger executive suite with 1 king bed for business travel. Low Price Country Inns & Suites offer very reasonable pricing for family travel. Kids 18 and under stay FREE with paying adults. I did a little research and during peak summer travel times you can stay at a Country Inns & Suites in Orlando for under $180.00 per night with tax! That is a heck of a deal for a suite. FREE Breakfast & FREE Wi-Fi Be it business or personal travel I need both of these amenities. The breakfast offered isn’t just a continental breakfast; the Be Our Guest Breakfast, offered at hotels in the U.S. and Canada offers hot fresh selections from oatmeal and eggs and bacon to build-your-own options like omeletes and yogurt parfaits. Plus, the menu rotates so you can experience a new offering every day. Breakfast fresh each morning photo credit: Carlson Hotels If you are traveling in the Eastern United States this summer a brand new Country Inns & Suites has opened in the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains of Ashville, NC.

They sound like they cater to the frequent traveler. Next choice for my vacation! tHANKS FOR SHARING!
I love the hot breakfast. The food, in my experience, is always fresh and delicious. I want something more than cereal or mini muffins for breakfast.
My favorite amenity is the free breakfast. It’s so convenient to be able to have breakfast right at the hotel.
The evening cookies in the lobby, and the full breakfast in the morning — basically Iam a hotel foodie. 😉 Thanks!
The hot breakfast is a winner in my book. Many hotels are cutting perks like breakfast these days to save money, or maybe offering only cold muffins and bad coffee. For families especially, Country Inn & Suites can save travelers money they would otherwise need to spend at a diner down the road.
Honestly, I love the hot breakfast options. Staying as a family gets expensive so being able to eat a real meal at the hotel is a big win for me!
I would love to get away to the Savannah location for a few days. I love how they offer so much for their guests. Nothing beats a free breakfast, that is for sure! Thanks for the chance!
I love being able to ramble downstairs and get a leisurely breakfast in the morning! I especially love that these hotels have some hot food offerings like waffles – really makes it easier with kids that are picky eaters to have choices! Would love to try them out!
LOL to the poster who says she’s a “hotel foodie.” It’s so true, hotel food is such a great amenity! http://www.thepinkpaperdoll.com
My favorite amenity is the complimentary breakfast buffet. I love getting to wake up to breakfast already made when I have a long day ahead of me. Yes!!
The free warm breakfast in the morning is my favorite amenity, but my kids would argue the pool is the best part.
My favorite amenity provided by the Carlson Hotels, Country Inns & Suites would be the free breakfast!
I would love to stay at Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Myrtle Beach, SC and having a free hot breakfast is great on the tummy and wallet.
I haven’t tried Country Inn & Suites before but they seem like a great place to stay. I’d love to stay at the Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Myrtle Beach, SC. I also love that they have free Wifi!! julimi at aol dot com
A Full Breakfast is a great thing to have before a morning of traveling. That makes it worth the extra money you can spend versus other hotels.
I’ve stayed at the Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Orlando, FL and we loved it. They had an amazing (complimentary) breakfast.
My favorite amenity is the Be Our Guest Complementary Breakfast. Thank you for the chance to win! GOD bless
My favorite amenity is the free high-speed internet! Thanks for the chance at this awesome giveaway! Andysavi.Mom@gmail.com
