Country "Front Porch" Hospitality

You may want to check out Country Inns & Suites for your next excursion. According to their promotions,

"Whether your trip is packed with business or filled with fun, we know you're looking for a soft place to land at the end of the day."

Sounts pretty much standard, right? The usual marketing enticement... They go on: "At Country Inns & Suites it's nice to know you'll always be greeted by a friendly staff, a cozy fire and warm decor that makes you feel right at home." Okay, still a little schtick-y, right? I hear you. But consider that for 12 consecutive years County Inns & Suites has maintained a 98% guest return rating, and they keep scoring high on nationwide guest satisfaction surveys. Not bad. And then there's the free breakfast, free morning newspaper and down home "Book It And Return It" guest lending library. All nice. And fireplaces and swimming pools are a bonus. But the REAL reason for checking out Country Inns & Suites next time you're on the road is there Last-Minute, Best-Priced Travel Deals. Every Wednesday, they offer specially discounted travel opportunities to different destinations. Don't miss out. (Please note that these Hot Deals are only available online.) So, you see, when you're paying 50% less than the folks in the next room, then you really do begin to feel kind of smug about all those other amenities they brag about:

"Country hospitality. It's that friendly "front porch" feeling that invites you to come inside, and the warm and cozy fireplace that makes you feel not-so-far from home. It's consistency you can count on, always at just the right price. Hospitality is what brings people back - and why 98% of everyone surveyed who stays at Country Inns & Suites say they will stay with us again...and again."
