A staycation is when you take a vacation at a location within a day trip distance of your home. Staycations have become more popular in the year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a way to take a much-needed break and at the same time give our local tourism a boost by supporting the local businesses. Consider independently owned hotels and air bnbs for your stay. While enjoying your staycation, shop at local farmer’s markets and have your morning coffee at the new local coffee shop nearby.
Why Choose a Boutique Hotel?
Boutique hotels are smaller with fewer rooms and space, however, each guest is provided a more personalized service which has the effect of a more intimate and warm ambiance of being a personal guest in a private home. Many boutique hotel rooms are designed based on a theme that makes the stay more exciting as compared to a regular hotel.
