Gone are the days when hotels were exclusively for tourists and vacationers who wanted to have a bit of more luxury than they get in their everyday lives. It used to be unheard of for people to check into hotels for no reason at all, mostly because it is an expensive place to spend the weekend at if you’re not going out of town.

Now, though, more and more people are coming to appreciate the notion of mini-vacations or those minor trips that do not necessarily require long hours on the road, or hundreds of miles away from home. Rather, it’s a mini-vacation because it is meant to serve as a quick escape from the usual hustle and bustle.

Home Away from (Not-So-Faraway) Home

In this context, hotels provide the ultimate opportunity for that quick getaway. The vibe in a hotel, especially if it is well run and delivers good, quality service, can be enough to whisk you away into a relaxing, vacation mood.
Perhaps what makes this concept of having mini-vacations all the more appealing is that even for just a day or two, you can get a full pampering experience. It doesn’t have to be 5-star all the way, but at the very least you can treat yourself to some good food, plush and comfortable rooms, and enjoy fun amenities along with the other guests.

Hotels in Fort Scott, KS, and other areas, for example, are opening up their doors to local guests who just want to have a home not so faraway from their home. They do realize the fact that there are just some people who would like to unwind and relax without going through all the trouble of planning an all-out itinerary. Besides, at the end of the day, there should be no difference if the guest is a local or not–all of the residents are hotel guests and should ideally be treated with the same care and attention.

Room Service Comfort

Is there no one to give you a rejuvenating full body massage at home, or maybe someone to fix you a great sandwich in the middle of the night? You can get all of these perks and more if you go on a mini-vacation in comfortable Fort Scott hotels.

It’s good to treat yourself once in awhile, too. Give in and indulge yourself and come out of the experience feeling refreshed ready to get back to the grind.
