In our last blog entry we discussed the benefits and limitations of a limited service hotel. Some of these hotel brands include but are not limited to: Holiday Inn Express, Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn, Springhill Suites, Country Inn & Suites and Best Westerns. 

In this article we will focus on the benefits of a full service hotel and why you might want to consider booking one of these hotels vs. a limited service hotel. Some of the most popular full service hotel brands include: Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, Sheraton, Hilton, Embassy Suites, Ramada Plaza Hotels and Marriott Hotels.

The primary difference between a full service hotel and a limited service hotel are amenities and services. Most full service hotels have a full service restaurant and bar with extensive room service options. Full service hotels also usually have a Concierge service. This is a person who can assist you in making recommendations and reservations for services inside and outside of the hotel. These services may include theater tickets, restaurant reservations, where to buy something specific in the area etc….. In many cases you will also be able to make use of a more elaborate fitness facility with spa treatments. If your traveling with children you would no doubt find it very helpful to have someone collect and bring your bags to your room.

Here is a selection of some of our most popular full service hotels:

This hotel above is the Boston Logan Embassy Suites. This hotel includes a full cook to order breakfast with our package that also includes 10 days of free parking and free roundtrip airport shuttle service. Did you know that the Silver Line from Logan Airport can take you to the Cruise Port for approx. $2.50 per person, each way! Nice!!!

The Newark Ramada Plaza hotel offers us the best rates for both Park Stay and Fly as well as Park & Cruise packages for both the Cape Liberty Cruise port in Bayonne NJ and the Manhattan Cruise Port. This hotel also offers free 24 hour roundtrip Newark Airport shuttle service. Our packages with this hotel include 14 to 21 days of free parking! This hotel finished a multi – million dollar renovation of the entire hotel less than two years ago.

In closing, we recommend that you carefully consider what your needs are before booking a hotel for your next trip. With so many different options it pays to do a careful search so that you are getting what you need and not paying for services you do not need.
