This is a list of various lodging alternatives we have stayed at and paid for during our travels. Most of them were family and budget friendly. You may notice a few Hilton properties here. My husband is a Hilton HHonors gold member and we try to accumulate points by staying at these properties and if low enough, we redeem our points to stay. We also get some special Hilton benefits (complimentary water, cookies, wi-fi, etc.) or upgrades to the Executive floors.
