If inns are so awesome, why do folks keep staying in hotels? The truth is, most Americans just don’t think to search for inns when they’re booking their vacations. But the reality is that inns are usually less expensive per night than hotel rooms, and come with more amenities. An inn less than a mile away from a hotel can save you an average of sixty dollars! So whether you’re coming from another state or just visiting another county for the weekend, consider spending the night at one of those places!
