Looking for a vacation that won't break the bank? Well, if you live anywhere in the mid-Atlantic region, there is a place in Tennessee called Pigeon Forge. It is located in the mountains of eastern Tennessee and offers something for everyone.
Now, the town itself is nice enough, but they offer the familiar trappings of a popular tourist trap, so you have to look past those to find all the cool things that are a available. First of all, it is located in a valley, so the natural scenery really is the star. It is also located near a national forest, so anything outdoors is exactly what the doctor ordered.
Along with all of the natural beauty, there are plenty of the creature comforts that you want on a vacation. There are plenty of hotels, but the best way to enjoy the scenery to the fullest is to rent one of the many fully equipped cabins available. They range from small cabins for couples, all the way to giant cabins that you could accommodate a whole family and more. These cabins are available to rent by the day and by the week and vary depending what season you are visiting.
There are also many familiar chain restaurants in the area, where you and your family can enjoy your meals. At breakfast time you will have a hard time deciding which pancake restaurant to eat in, as there are so many available it has been said that there is one pancake restaurant for each visitor in the area.
The town does have its share of touristy things like go-carts and mini golfing and music shows, but they can be avoided if careful. One place that you will want to make a visit to is Dollywood. Dollywood is a theme park that offers all the regular stuff that you would expect at a theme park, thrill rides, food, a cool area for kids to play, but it offers something that most don't, down home friendly people who work there. Everyone that works there, from the people who run the rides, to the people who run the booths and drive the trams, everybody is really nice. Not fake nice like in the big city, but nice because they want to be. It is not a large park, but there are some really fun rides, but the real attraction are the people and the fun.

Oh the striking city of Chicago. This is one of the top destinations in the land, such magnificent city. Whether you are going to Wrigley Field or the Magnificent Mile you will enjoy Chicago. Each person I know that vacations or just travels to Chicago continually says it is one of their preferred cities to visit.
If you are visiting Chicago a short time in the future, I thought I would bestow you with a few hotels that you can look for to save cash on your trip. These hotels are in no distinct area, they are simply just the lowest rates available in the city of Chicago.
Here are the first 5 low-cost hotels in Chicago:
Super 8 Prospect Heights starts at $41 per night.
Howard Johnson Chicago Lansing starts at $44 per night
Howard Johnson Inn and Suites Elk Grove Village O'Hare starts at $44 per night.
Crossland Chicago Waukegan starts at $45 per night
Howard Johnson Addison also starts at $45 per night.
Chicago similar to other cities you need to be aware of what surrounds your hotel. These are just the cheapest rates offered, but you would need to pay thought to where they are. Chicago is a big city so staying too far away from what you want to visit could cause tribulations in transportation.
The more in demand an area is the more money you are going to disburse. This is because the hotel rates are based on occupancy. If occupancy at a property is better then that directly affects the price which means that the price is also going to go up.
The further in advance that you can actually book your trip, the more you will save, particularly in an area with high demand. If you are going to Chicago in the next 12 months, I suggest you find a website with a low price guarantee and book your reservations promptly. If you find a lower price over the next several months, this website will honor it. Most will honor right up until you check in.

Locating a good rate in Atlanta Georgia on a hotel is not a hard chore. You can always find a really cheap hotel in the city. The only item you want to pay consideration to is where you are staying. You don't need to end up staying in a part of town in which you will not be happy.
In this commentary I have paid no attention to location, I am just going to reveal the top 5 cheap hotels that fall within the city limits of Atlanta. You will want to shop through these hotels to make sure they are in an area you want to stay. I also suggest you book in advance, and book with a site that has many hotel chains. The chances of you being moved to a different hotel, if one doesn't meet your standards, are higher if you book with a hotel discounter instead of directly through a hotel.
The principal 5 cheap hotels in Atlanta are:
Hometown Inn starts at just $30 nightly.
Microtel Inn Galleria starts at $32 nightly
Days Inn/Jimmy Carter Blvd. starts at $34 nightly.
Masters Inn Marietta starts at $34 nightly.
The unsurpassed way to save funds is to book at a site which offers a low price guarantee. This means that before your trip if you find a lower price the site will match the price or refund your money so you can book the lesser rate. Most hotel chains do not offer this quality because they actually sell their rooms at wholesale to suppliers and as a result would always be undercut.
Booking in advance is the best way to save cash because as the hotel gets more reservations they will elevate prices. You need to make your mind up when you are going to go and then get your trip booked, you can make changes afterward on most reservations, but you will be subject to the higher rates since it is closer to the time of your trip.
