When was the last time you really got to treat yourself out for a quick getaway that you well deserve? Traveling far and long can put a serious dent in your bank account but go for a staycation? Not so much.

Staycations are quick vacation stays in a nearby hotel. You just spend the day there relaxing, not worrying about anything, and enjoy the luxury that it is. Aside from being easy on the pocket, staycations don’t eat up a lot of your time and are less stressful than planning a 4-day out of town trip. It’s a vacation that is a home away from home.

If you’re still on the verge on whether staycations are a good idea for you right now and if it’s better than going somewhere far, here are some 6 simple reasons you should reconsider:

Hotels are equipped with great facilities

Hotels exuberate convenience, luxury, and an overall relaxing vibe that is rarely felt at home or anywhere else. It makes any guest feel like a million bucks with its bouncy mattress to their gym and pool. Not only that, most if not all hotels offer spa treatments that go very well with your relaxing staycation. Research for the hotels near you which offer the best deals, facilities and amenities, and the likes that fit your budget.

A quick escapade doesn’t need to be far and expensive

We know what you’re thinking: “hotels are expensive.” Yes, they can be pretty steep in price but if you take a clear look at it, it’s a lot cheaper than booking a flight, traveling to a far destination, and booking an accommodation there on top of other costs. Besides, if you’re looking for a quick escape, this is your best option.

You don’t have to book a hotel that’s 5 hours away from you and that costs an arm and a leg, surely you can find a number of hotel accommodations that is within your budget and at the same time, offers fantastic facilities. Also, if you’re looking for a quick vacation for spending a quality time with your family, a staycation is a convenient answer.

Skip the fix-the-bed part

This is the best part of staying in a hotel—not having to fix the bed. You can just ring the hotel staff to have your room cleaned when you leave out for a city walk. Of course, don’t leave anything valuable behind. Don’t you love that feeling of a tidied up room welcoming you back? It’s the best!

Staycations are less stressful

Booking flights, packing so much, spending hours in transit, and the likes are time consuming and financially draining if you’re only looking for a quick getaway. You know what we mean. Yes, out of the town or country and ideal for a break but if it’s not feasible at the moment, plan it for some other time.

Often times, what you need is just a time to unplug from everything and just dip in a pool, take a long shower, or lay down in bed and watch movies all day in a different setting.

For a quick break

You can never really predict when you need a quick break most and when you do need one, a staycation is the best and quick solution to this woe. No need to schedule a flight, just pack up your bag with the essentials and go to the most accessible 5-star hotel near you. Also, it’s a good choice when you’re already running out of leaves or can’t be gone for too long.

You deserve it

If you really need to take a break and reclaim your peace even just for a day or over the weekend, you don’t need to think of any more reasons, go and book a hotel for your quick getaway. Everyone could use a staycation once in a while, when you think your turn have come, by all means, grab the moment to just do it.
