It might be that I’m not used to being in the house so much after an on-the-go summer, or perhaps it’s the chill in the air as we head into the fall season … regardless, I’m itching to get away.
While some are planning their extended long winter vacation, others are checking their budget and taking a long sigh of defeat. I get it, travelling with the family and the cost and time away from schedule, might make it impossible.
For those that desperately need just one night away from it all, there’s always the option of the Staycation. It’s a close-to-home vacation, that gets your mind and body away from the usual – and this is something we very much need to do from time to time.
Ask my kids – even if the hotel was right across the street from our house, they wouldn’t hesitate to stay even for one night. After all – it’s a plush new bed and linens, different surroundings, and comes complete with pampered service. Oh and of course we cannot forget the pool!
I have to admit, when travelling near or far, the accommodations are one of the biggest anticipations, and that goes for myself as well as the kids. More often than not, we stay at Holiday Inn Express hotels, as they cater to business travellers and short-term stays. In other words, the value-oriented travellers.
Fresh, clean and uncomplicated, Holiday Inn Express hotels provide a free hot Express Start™ breakfast bar with new healthier offerings, free high-speed Internet access and free local phone calls (U.S. and Canada only).
It’s the services of a Holiday Inn Express that I crave, and all fantastic reasons to get away, even if it’s close to home. I think we can all agree that there’s huge appeal in sneaking away for the night and relaxing pool-side, crawling into a fresh already-made {read: you didn’t have to make it} bed, and not having to make a delicious breakfast. There’s so much enjoyment in the experience.
When is the last time you had a night away, but close to home?
There are currently 2,469 Holiday Inn Express hotel locations around the globe, making it an excellent choice for your next staycation.

10/26/2017 at 9:17 amI haven’t been on a staycation or even holidays in years, trying to save money to go to Japan.
Hotel amenities would be restaurant & swimming pool.
Laura Thomas says
10/26/2017 at 9:24 amA early winter getaway/staycation sounds perfect. My kids love when we visit spots with an indoor pool in winter. Such a great way to loosen up and relax from our busy weekly schedules!
Maryanne says
10/26/2017 at 9:27 amWe definitely need a staycation. I don’t have any vacation days so it’s hard to go anywhere. We love the pool!
Amy Heffernan says
10/26/2017 at 9:31 amThe last one my husband and I had was going on 2 years ago now. It was so nice. Would love to have another one.. I enjoy a pool and free breakfast!! Thanks!

Israel y says
10/26/2017 at 10:06 amOoops forgot to add how badly we need a staycation – with 2 kids & 1 on the way, we could use the break!
Christel says
10/26/2017 at 10:20 amI really need a staycation. I just started a new job and in between wrapping up things at the old job and training , I’ve neglected my boyfriend for a while. It would be nice to have this treat. When we go away we look for amenities like an included breakfast.
sarah alexis says
10/26/2017 at 11:42 amI desperately need a staycation, single working mom with two kids. I need a soak in a hottub and a big comfy bed all to myself!!!!!!
Tara says
10/26/2017 at 11:54 amWe actually went last weekend with my sisters family to a nearby hotel with all our kids. My husband ended up getting really sick and stayed home and told me to go and have fun. I ended up getting a migraine so bad it landed me in bed the entire time! My kids hung with my sisters family and still had fun, but us parents got ripped off. We like breakfast at the hotel, the pool and a great bed to crawl into.
jan says
10/26/2017 at 12:51 pmwe have had some unexpected family health issues so a hotel stay with a big comfy bed is in order!
BlessedTA says
10/26/2017 at 1:37 pmI need a break
Brian Wall says
10/26/2017 at 3:04 pmhow badly you need a Staycation, and what hotel amenities you love to experience
After spending a month packing for my move to a new apartment, then furniture shopping, then with the most terrible instructions on how to put furniture pieces together and the hours and hours that took, then unpacking and setting up, change of address notices sent out and not being able to cook anything until my stove gets delivered, I need a Staycation badly !
The hotel amenities I love to experience are the breakfast buffet, the pool, the in room movies and the best is the room service.
Soozle says
10/26/2017 at 3:15 pmWe are going through HUGE cuts in our medical system resulting in tons of job losses – I am stressed to the max! I need a staycation that includes a pool and breakfast in the am!
nicky says
10/26/2017 at 4:23 pmI need a staycation to rest, recharge, and get a full night’s sleep away from our little one! Love the pool and the room service!
Maritess Schrauwen says
10/26/2017 at 4:40 pmI need a staycation after the school start and before the holiday rush to recharge and relax. I would love a pool and spa to get the kids to enjoy their favourite activity and for me to relax.

Janet M says
10/26/2017 at 5:21 pmStaycations always make me feel better. I like having a pool and continental breakfast available.
Dianne G. says
10/26/2017 at 5:37 pmIt has been over 6 years since we went on a holiday where we stayed in a hotel. We have only gone to visit family in those 6 years and stayed with them. When we do stay in a hotel we like one with room service, a breakfast buffet, wifi, and most of all clean rooms with comfortable beds.
Debbie White Beattie says
10/26/2017 at 6:26 pmI could really use a staycation because I haven’t been on vacation in 10 years. I know Holiday Inn is great because last year I had renovations done and needed a place to stay. Holiday Inn had the most important amenities for me which were a completely wheelchair accessible suite with a kitchen and they accept dogs.
The amenities I would also love are free meals or breakfast and a great indoor and outdoor pool, plus really great grounds with grass and landscaping.
Julie F says
10/26/2017 at 6:55 pmI just love to stay in a hotel, it is nice to just get away and relax, I like having the use of a pool and breakfast ready in the morning!
Lee-Ann says
10/26/2017 at 7:05 pmI would like to go on a staycation all by myself, no kids, no hubby, just me, the TV/bed, and an order menu. My favourite amenity is a free breakfast!
Carol M says

Brenda Penton says
10/27/2017 at 7:08 amI could use a staycation to just relax and get away from all the housework. My favourite amenity is free wi-fi and breakfast.

Linda Bragg says
10/27/2017 at 7:41 amBoth hubby and I are seniors and he is STILL working 7 days a week at 71 yrs and we need a staycation to have some quality time together to just relax and enjoy each others company with no stress. It’s been so long since we have had an overnight away from home with no cares or worries. Living paycheck to paycheck does not leave enough to enjoy those type amenities. We just enjoy the relaxation of the hotels restaurant and the pool or spa.
Nicole S says
10/27/2017 at 7:47 amI would love a mini getaway with my husband . Would be a nice treat to get away from the kiddos for only one night he he. Thanks for this chance!!
Sab Edwards says
10/27/2017 at 8:41 amA hot tub and a pool would work well for me to take away the pain from work. Last week I feel on the cement floor and my right arm is sporting a huge bruise still in two places and the left side is all stiff. (I can’t afford to take time off to heal, or I would have taken the 3 days off last week) Hubby has lost his job as well again and I hope he soon gets off his butt as he seems a bit depressed and I know its hard at his age to be bouncing around from job to job.
ERIN MCSWEENEY says
10/27/2017 at 9:15 amI LOVE GOING TO HOTELS SO A STAYCATION IS ALWAYS NEEDED…I LOVE THE POOL AND HOPEFULLY FREE BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING
tamara m says
10/27/2017 at 9:34 amLove the idea of a staycation, a fantastic idea for families with young children! Our family could so use a staycation after a very busy start to the new school year, back to homework routines, cold/flu season, etc. This would be a wonderful little break for some fun for the whole family! Thank you for the chance! I always love when hotels include breakfast and parking, and of course a pool, hot tub, and especially a sauna! 🙂
Glogirl says
10/27/2017 at 11:25 amI need a staycation because it would be a great way to spend some quality time with my family. After a busy fall, this would be a welcome “vacation”. Hotel amenities I look for are free wifi and a free breakfast included.
Tammy Dalley says
10/27/2017 at 11:39 amI would love to get away for a vacation away from all the cleaning and responsiblity at home lol I love free breakfast!
Jennifer P. says
10/27/2017 at 12:27 pmOh I really, really need a staycation – just one night away from my little ones would be a nice vacation for me so that I can have some time to myself!! I love a comfortable bed, a free breakfast in the morning, free wifi, and a pool/hot tub in my list of desired hotel amenities. A free shuttle bus to local shopping/activities is also nice to have if they are not within walking distance.
Lucy says
10/27/2017 at 1:32 pmI really need a staycation! Pools are the best amenity.
NormaJane says
10/27/2017 at 1:52 pmFunny you should ask…. We are flying Gram in for Christmas this year. There isn’t enough beds for everyone so we are checking out Hotels but is it ok to stay in Hotel on Christmas? I think so! for the exact reason’s you list above. I would love it! Holiday Inn Express sounds like a good choice too.
Jonnie says
10/27/2017 at 2:08 pmThe kids have an extra, extra long weekend off from school coming up in November and a staycation would be the perfect break for all of us. We love to play in the pool at hotles and, I usually skip breakfast, but now I really want to experience the pancake machine!
Vivian Dionne says
10/27/2017 at 3:22 pmI need a staycation to get away from the stress of everyday life; I would love to try the breakfast buffet and relax in a comfy bed.
Maria says
10/27/2017 at 4:36 pmIt’s been such a busy few months, school starts, flu, cold…..we could definitely use a break. Love when there is a free breakfast and pool at the hotel

Carole D says
10/27/2017 at 5:12 pmA stay cation is just what we need. I need a break from Daily routine, been a long time.
Sean M says
10/27/2017 at 6:57 pmToo much work and overtime means no time together. A staycation would be best for the precious little bit of free time that we have.
Got to have a great restaurant
Tanis says
10/27/2017 at 11:58 pmWe would love a staycation to enjoy the spas, pool and wine tours!
Pam says

Pam says
10/28/2017 at 3:24 amI forgot to add that I just love a comfy bed and breakfast included.
Shelley N says
10/28/2017 at 6:31 amOur whole family needs a staycation. We have all been working different shifts on different days so it is difficult to even see a movie together plus our sons are going to university/college so there are plenty of assignments and classes. We would love to get away together. The amenities we always use is the pool at a hotel as my husband and sons are excellent swimmers plus we love to warm up after in the hot tub. With an 18 and 20 year old food is a big deal so a delicious breakfast is essential
lori says
10/28/2017 at 6:39 ami barely see my hubby and when he is home he is still distracted by work so a nice getaway would be fantastic
Kim Tanti says
10/28/2017 at 7:11 amWow do I need a getaway. I beat cancer while my hubby had surgery and off work for a month healing. went back to work some guy backed up a tow motor and crushed my hubbies foot. a month later my hubby was driving on a 2lane hwy. and there was a car coming at him. He hit the shoulder spun out then flipped a couple times and ended in the ditch on the other side of the hwy. the women behind got hit head on by a 17yr. old who fell asleep at the wheel. My hubbies truck was a write off. We keep trudging on. So ya we need a time out. LOL
Judy Cowan says
10/28/2017 at 7:55 amDoes the fact that I can’t remember the last time we stayed in a hotel room work? We never get away so this would be nice, would love one with a pool!

Tina L. says
10/28/2017 at 2:36 pmBeing working so much I need a break. As long as the hotel offers free breakfast and wifi, I’m happy

Josie Tusa says
10/28/2017 at 9:03 pmI haven’t been on a vacation or a staycation in years! I would love to just get away from the stresses of everyday life and escape, even if just for a little while. I love having a pool and exercise room as well as great restaurants.
tracy k says

Josh S says
10/28/2017 at 10:40 pmIt has been pretty stressful around here the last couple of months. A staycation is a great idea! I enjoy a pool and hot tub when I go to a hotel.
Linda says
10/29/2017 at 8:58 amI could use a staycation from kids and work. I enjoy having a big bed to lie in.
Brad Kinchen says
10/29/2017 at 10:46 amI need to get the heck out of the town where I live for a change of scenery! I really like a hot tub to relax in.
Sunshine G says
10/29/2017 at 2:07 pmWe desperately need a staycation with two full time jobs and two young children – and I love fancy hotel bathrobes and nice showers!
TurboCanuck says
10/29/2017 at 11:13 pmI love me a fast water slide! As far as I’m concerned every hotel needs a sweet slide. And then when I’m all beat up from that a nice soak in the hot whirlpool is a must!
Vicki says
10/30/2017 at 10:23 amlike everyone, I could use a break right about …now. That breakfast is included always gets me.
Jackie M says
10/30/2017 at 4:02 pmI welcomed a newborn of 2.5 months and desperately need some time off. I would take advantage of the spa facilities.

Heather Lynne says
10/31/2017 at 9:46 amAs I feel the weather turning cold, I know a getaway would be amazing! (for my family or just for my hubby & me!) I love ti when breakfast is included & there’s a pool/hot tub! 🙂
Melinda Jana says
10/31/2017 at 10:59 amit would be lovely to go on a staycation! especially with so much wedding planning. I love it when they include breakfast, soaker tub and comfy bed
Le says
10/31/2017 at 8:38 pmThis post is very timely because I’ve started looking for a place for a Staycation during the Holiday rush. We love a break from the doldrums of winter and craziness of the season so it is a perfect escape, especially if there is a pool, breakfast and an onsite restaurant.
JoAnne Hudy says
11/01/2017 at 2:34 pmI need a Staycation SOOOO badly…. I have lost the only income we have, and, because I am nearing sixty, it is extremely difficult to find a job in a town of only 30,000. I would really enjoy just going off the radar, and spending my time watching TV or relaxing in the pool.
Laurie P says
11/01/2017 at 5:16 pmBeen years since hubby and I had a chance to get away, even for a day…and I’d love to spend some time in the pool too!
Jenness M says
11/01/2017 at 5:20 pmWe both work full time with 2 young kids and haven’t had a holiday in 3 years… so we could really use a staycation! I love a free breakfast and wifi.
carla says
11/02/2017 at 7:23 amWe both work fulltime and between work,school and soccer we really need a break! We love the pool and beds
Kim K says
11/02/2017 at 10:26 amI can’t remember the last time I got away for a night and NEED to so bad. I love hotels which offer a swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. Plus I love the convenience of breakfast or brunch.
Allie f says
11/02/2017 at 1:25 pmI haven’t been on holiday for 2 years. I am beyond ready and in need of a staycation! My favourite part about hotels is the pool 🙂
Maria McLachlan says
11/02/2017 at 9:17 pmWe could use a night away. Been so busy last couple months. The kids would love to just go somewhere where they can enjoy a nice pool
caroline m. says
11/03/2017 at 12:32 amI need a staycation very badly and love being able to soak in a deep tub. I currently have the tiniest tub in which my kids hardly fit into.
nicolthepickle says
11/03/2017 at 5:20 amOh, rather a lot. We’ve been house bound for all summer and up till now. It wasn’t so bad in the summer, but it’s starting to get rather dreary.
Nay. says
11/03/2017 at 1:27 pmWe’d love a staycation! With work and kid activities, it’s so hard to plan time away.
We’d love to hang by the pool!
Lori L. says
11/03/2017 at 6:58 pmI have 5 kids and haven’t taken them on a stay cation since 2012 so I think we are overdue! They don’t care where we go as long as there are waterslides!
NathaniaH says
11/03/2017 at 7:57 pmTwo beds, clean, sink and fridge. and a good shower!
EA says
11/04/2017 at 3:57 amMy husband and I need a pet and kid friendly night out
Jenn Beckett jennpup says
11/04/2017 at 9:48 amWe love a good staycation! My son’s favourite thing is ‘hotel swimming’ – his way of asking for a staycation (preferably at a Holiday Inn) and they MUST have a pool! I love their breakfasts, bonus points if they have warm cookies at check-in!
Julie Barrett says
11/04/2017 at 10:45 amMy mom, sister and I love to do staycations together. Due to health problems, I can’t travel far so this is the only option for us. But this year money is super tight so we won’t be able to do it for my sister’s birthday in November or my mom’s birthday in January. We all have major health concerns at the moment and financial worries so a girls trip to get away from the stress for the weekend would be perfect! And we all love hot tubs and pools so we would enjoy those and the comfy beds! Thanks for the chance to win!
Amie Gaudet says
11/04/2017 at 1:50 pmI very badly need a staycation with my hubby. Due to shift work it is veery difficult to find time for the two of us to just relax together.
Amie Gaudet says
11/04/2017 at 1:55 pmI forgot to mention the hotel amenities we will enjoy and one of those is the high quality of the bedding and the comfort of the beds and pillows. I love that they offer many different types of pillows as my husband and I like different pillow firmness. This may sound silly, but it matters to us.
JaimeeM says
11/04/2017 at 9:54 pmI need a staycation bad enough that if I dont win it, I will be trying my best to take one on my own dime. I would love the free continental breakfast or pool. Nice break up from the regular routine
Dianne Arsenault says
11/05/2017 at 5:07 amI want to win this, not for myself but for my daughter who has a young son, recently started a new job and could use a mini vacation.
Dianne Arsenault says
11/05/2017 at 5:09 amOh rooms have to be clean and fresh
jessica s says
11/05/2017 at 5:43 amI’d love a staycation! I haven’t stayed in a hotel in years! 🙁 I would love to stay in a hotel that has a pool for my 4 year old to enjoy 🙂
Pearl Saban says
11/05/2017 at 5:55 amA great pick-me-up. Travel close to home or just a little farther away!
Paula D says
11/05/2017 at 7:23 amA staycation would be wonderful, but it would also even be great to have a night at the Holiday Inn when I am travelling for medical appointments, instead of having to rush back home the same day! The amenities I seek out are Wifi, a really comfortable bed, a quiet room, and some type of food service on the property. NO BED BUGS!!!
Doreen Lamoureux says
11/05/2017 at 7:41 amStaycations are awesome because you get to check out your own country. We have lots to see in Canada. I need one because it is nice to get away and just do whatever. I love having the breakfasts… and tea through out the day. Have a big tub is sweet. Having comfortable pillows is a must . What would really top it is having a steam shower. 🙂
Grace S. says
11/05/2017 at 7:57 amI need a staycation because there is already too much snow and a nice getaway to a Holiday inn express with a pool will fool me into thinking I have gone away. It will be nice and relaxing too.
Elizabeth Robinson says
11/05/2017 at 8:35 amWe need a staycation so very badly. My Husband has not taken a vacation in 3 years. We would really like the indoor pool and free breakfast.
Heather G says
11/05/2017 at 8:37 amAfter a tough year of switching jobs and getting everything set up for a new schedule we could really use a staycation! The pool is what we love most, can’t have a staycation without one!
Mike Gismondi says
11/05/2017 at 8:39 amI really like hotel pools as long as they’re not freezing… and free breakfast is a big plus too! We really need a staycation because the kids need to let off some steam.
Elaine R says
11/05/2017 at 10:38 amIt would be wonderful to have a staycation right now as my husband has health concerns which is always stressful.
Katrina says
11/05/2017 at 11:41 amI would love a staycation. My husband got injured this year and has been off work since. It would be so nice to have a mini getaway.
Wendy Jensen says
11/05/2017 at 12:50 pmWe need a Staycation as we have moved into a new to us house that has to have a lot of work done on it. We need a break! The amenities that I like are internet, fridge, coffee maker and a hot tub.
Lindsay says
11/05/2017 at 1:00 pmMy favourite hotel amenity … a full night’s sleep without children interrupting! So if we found a sitter … it’d be an amazing staycation! Or, if they come … the pool would be a hit.
Linda says
11/05/2017 at 1:22 pmI need a stayvacation because my husband has been out of work. So i am starting to get cabin fever. The amneties i like is the pool

Amber Y says
11/05/2017 at 2:39 pmA date night away with the hubby sounds excellent right now. I’m always very happy to have a balcony, a pool and breakfast as part of our stay anywhere.
Julie-Lynne McCann says
11/05/2017 at 2:44 pmLike you wouldn’t believe…. we have never had a vacation. I worked contract job for over 10 years and so I was not given holidays. Plus my husband having cancer twice and out of work we have had our share of hard times. This would be a dream …. we can’t afford to go anywhere. Thanks for the opportunity!
LILLIAN BROWN says
11/05/2017 at 2:49 pmI do not like to see sob stories so will just say, I am going through something and my husband and I could use a night in our nearby city. Love a pool and a free breakfast when we go to a hotel.
Tainan Lu says

Donnas says
11/05/2017 at 4:25 pmI need a staycation and I love hotels that have a lounge; somewhere we can have a drink and actually not too loud, so we can carry on a conversation too.

11/05/2017 at 5:33 pmI need a Staycation so that I don’t feel the need to want my family to live in another house. i love those instant pancake machines.

Christopher Mason says
11/06/2017 at 6:20 amWe need a night away in a place with a good restaurant and bar.
Kim D says
11/06/2017 at 7:02 amI would love a night away from my house just so I don’t have to be thinking of all the things that need to be done while I’m falling asleep!
Victoria K says

11/06/2017 at 9:14 pmI really need a staycation because I am tired! Sometimes I just don’t want to cook supper, look at the mess in my house, or do chores. I just want a vacation. If I were go to a hotel, I would love to see a free breakfast and a pool. A waterslide would be awesome for the kids – but not necessary (but appreciated)!

Karin Dollery says
11/09/2017 at 2:26 pmI have never been on a Staycation but if it involves staying at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel I am all in. I could also use a fresh me up before the Holidays are in full swing.
Michelle K says
11/09/2017 at 7:02 pmIn a wicked twist of fate my husband and I both opened businesses this year, so a break is needed. I love not having to make my own bed and if the room has a giant soaker tub that cover my shoulders and knees at the same time, I’m in heaven.
KellyPC says

11/10/2017 at 6:20 amI would love to win this. My kids love hotels for some reason and we haven’t stayed in one all that often. Must be the pool and just watching tv from their beds haha.
We would love a one night getaway. It’s been too long since we have gotten away.

Darci Paice says
11/12/2017 at 12:32 pmLike many, I am a single parent. We camp and take in local day activities. It is too hard to go far when there are so many duties at home a staycation with a pool and complimentary breakfast would be so wonderful!
Viv Sluys says
11/12/2017 at 2:37 pmWe’re all about the pool when we go to hotels! Continental breakfast is pretty awesome too.
We’ve been talking about how nice it would be to get away even for just a night. I started a new job a few months ago and though it’s only part-time and half of that at home we are really noticing it’s toll on the family time we have, especially as my husband works 2 jobs and my 3rd daughter started school in September. We need some time away to reconnect as a family!
Lindsay Threlkeld says
11/13/2017 at 9:01 pmI’m in definite need of a staycation! Work for both hubby & I has been crazy lately and we need to re-connect & get away from the daily grind! As for amenities we love a pool, restaurants in the hotel.
Betty S says

Susanne McCarthy says
11/14/2017 at 12:51 pmI think we need a monthly staycation!! Life is just too hectic & we don’t spend enough time or pay enough attention just to one another! We need it so bad…..I would do a cartwheel if I won 🙂
Jo B says
11/14/2017 at 3:08 pmIt has been a long time since I have been able to get away and just relax. What fun it would be to have a comfy bed, free wifi, big screen tv and coffee in bed.
