Contest!! Win 2 Free Nights from Country Inns & Suites! (Closed)

October 25, 2012

This contest is now closed.

Contest craziness at Road Warriorette continues!!

I love fall—the cooler weather, sweaters, cider, fires in the fireplace…. Another reason to love fall? The Free Night Fall offer from Country Inns & Suites! Here’s the deal: book and stay any two or more consecutive nights (at the Free Night Fall rate), Sunday thru Thursday, and you’ll get a certificate for a free night! The promotion runs through November 30, and it sounds like a great deal to me.

In honor of the Free Night Fall offer, we are TWO readers two free nights at a Country Inn and Suites of their choice. How to win? Simple, as always. Leave a comment answering the following question: Where is your favorite place to travel during fall? The contest runs through 11pm CST on Wednesday October 31, and the winners will be randomly chosen on Thursday November 1.

Legal stuff:

  • “Free Night Fall” launched October 1st and runs through November 30, 2012.
  • As a reminder, this is a part of our Free Night Fall promotion, where your readers can have an opportunity to win an additional free night in our giveaway. Details and official rules can be found here.
  •  Each free night voucher is valid for one free night, standard room, double occupancy at any North American Country Inns & Suites of the winner’s choice. The voucher expires one year after the issue date. The full terms and conditions are located on the room night voucher.
  •  Entrants need to reside in the US or Canada and must be at least 18 years old.
  • One entry per person.

I actually have a tie for my favorite place to go in the fall. The obvious choice is somewhere like New England  (or anywhere Not Texas) where the leaves change. I went to Pennsylvania once in the fall and driving through the mountains was amazingly beautiful. But the non-obvious choice is Napa Valley. The Home Warrior and I took a fabulous trip there a few years ago during October and it couldn’t have been better.

So, Readers, where is your favorite place to visit during the fall? Good luck!!

Road Warriorette received a free night stay at Country Inn & Suites.

    Arcadia national park Maine

  4. Sandeep said,

    Shenandoah national park can be pretty amazing that time of the year

  5. Victoria said,

    Maine. Always Maine. Every season, but ESPECIALLY fall, when there are fewer tourists and crisp winds.

  6. jennifer b said,

    We love to travel to Florida. Sounds funny but when its cold in MI and we are pouting about it we head to where its warm. No leaf raking, no frost, no worries.

    The trip is cheaper being hurricane time, the beaches are quiet and the hotels are not very full. We love it and try to go each time Dd has fall break.

  7. Jennifer Wilson said,

    Auburn Alabama for a football game (the best reason to travel in the fall).

  35. Joanna said,

    I’m from the northeast so I’m used to leaves changing colors and the air getting crisper. I like heading south once it gets into the rainy season so I can try and hold onto warmer weather for just a little bit longer.

  36. Caroline Lupini said,

  63. Jenn said,

    I currently live in Colorado where falls mean nice weather, pretty aspens turning yellow and the occasional snowfall… But having grown up in Ohio I really love going back there. Fall is much prettier in the Midwest / east coast due to the variety of colors and foliage. Also there is a crisp feeling in the air and a lot of fun fall activities that remind me of my childhood (apple picking, pumpkin picking and carving etc.)

  64. Jigar Shah said,

    Shenandoah National Park in Virginia

  65. Isaac said,

    Oregon would seal the deal for me!

  66. Lee said,

    I like Colorado or North Carolina. Can’t beat them!

  67. Kelley T said,

    You stole my best place. Napa. I love the crush season the whole valley smells of crushed grapes and the wineries are in full swing so that you can see what really goes on. And, the restaurants feature the best of what the valley has to offer. OMG… I’m leaving now!

  68. airshadow said,

    Ouray CO

  69. Bonnie said,

    Asheville, NC. Love that place. The Blue Ridge is so beautiful this time of year. I would go visit the Biltmore House and Gardens, hike, and of course eat at some of the great resturants in the area, then I would drive to Brevard, Land of Waterfalls, because that is my hometown and I have not been back in a while.
