Whether you are planning a road trip or a Staycation, there are some new hotels on that are designed to take your family vacation to the next level!
During a poll, Family Vacation Critic asked their parent panel “What is most important when choosing a hotel for your family?’ (1) Budget-friendly price; (2) Close proximity to family-friendly attractions and restaurants; (3) On-site pool; (4) Kids stay and/or eat free programs; (5) Complimentary Wi-Fi.
This year’s hotel trends touch on three of the most important hotel perks for parents traveling with kids: close proximity to family-friendly attractions and restaurants, on-site pools and complimentary Wi-Fi.
