Drury Plaza Hotel Tallahassee
$115-175 / nacht
Boek dit als You want to feed a family of four for free while staying in a brand-new hotel with both indoor and outdoor pools.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The legendary '5:30 Kickback' (free hot dinner + 3 alcoholic drinks nightly)
- Rare combo of both indoor and outdoor pools
- Consistently spotless rooms that feel brand new
Snel Overzicht: It's a chain hotel that somehow feels like a steal because they throw so much free food and booze at you.
Beoordeeld door @explorer: I stayed here during a rainy trip and it was exactly what I needed. The room is cute and functional, and I was so relieved to find the fridge and microwave hidden in the cabinet. Plus, having late-night pizza downstairs made the gloomy weather totally bearable.

Reality check

- You love freebies (breakfast, dinner, popcorn, soda, alcohol)
- You are traveling with kids who need pool time regardless of the weather
- You need a reliable, clean stopover off I-10

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The outdoor pool water can be shockingly cold in the off-season.
💡The pillows are unusually thick and firm, leading to some sore necks.
💡You can hear people talking in the hallway pretty clearly from your bed.
💡The 'Kickback' menu rotates, so you won't eat the same tacos every night.
💡It's located in the 'Market District', which is actually a great upscale shopping area, not just a highway exit.
