Did you know that 54% of Americans didn’t use all their paid time off last year? More than half! That’s a collective $66.4 billion left on the table, which equates to an average of $604 per American. This absolutely blows my mind.
This year, don’t be part of that statistic. With a little bit of planning, you and your family can enjoy a relaxing, fun-filled vacation at an affordable property like those offered by Choice Hotels. And Choice is giving you the chance to win a four (4) night stay at a Choice Hotels Caribbean property, airfare, ground transportation, and spending money! Read on to find out how to enter!
Choice Hotels’ Ascend Collection
Last summer, my family stayed at The Hills Hotel in Laguna Hills, California. The Hills Hotel is part of Choice Hotels’ Ascend Collection. The Ascend properties are boutique hotels that offer you a unique experience. Each Ascend hotel reflects its local community, with staff committed to sharing their insider knowledge of the places, moments and experiences that makes each destination special.
At the Hills Hotel, I loved the outdoor areas that screamed “Southern California,” with colorful flowers and palm trees all around. The beautiful pool and hot tub area offered lots of cozy seating and plenty of covered areas to provide shade. I especially loved the relaxing cabanas that are close enough to the pool so you can still watch your kids. Staff at the desk and restaurant were helpful and courteous and were able to offer me tips about visiting the area.
Our room was clean, spacious and more than adequate for four people. Plus, it didn’t feel like a cookie-cutter hotel. From the lobby to the lounge to the guest rooms, The Hills Hotel felt unique and upscale, without the upscale price.
Choice Hotels offers its Ascend Collection properties in more than 50 locations around the world, including one in the Caribbean, the Hope Town Harbour Lodge.
Are You Taking Your Vacation Days?
Here are some of the reasons Americans don’t take their vacation days, according to a report by Project: Time Off:
- Returning to a mountain of work
- Feeling that nobody else could do their job
- Fear they would be seen as replaceable
- Can’t afford a vacation
One-third of respondents cited affordability as the key reason they don’t use their paid time off days. That’s where Choice Hotels can help you out.
