Gild Hall, located in NYC’s Financial District, is perfect for families looking to stay in the downtown area.  We loved the close proximity to Seaport and its many restaurants and boutiques, the fun filled Battery Playscape, and Wall Street’s iconic charging bull.  The Thompson Suite is luxurious and grand featuring a sumptuous bedroom, gigantic bathroom and bathtub, stylish separate lounge and wet bar, and plenty of space for a family of four.  Staff were always inviting and friendly and we loved the old New York charm of the property.  Make sure to check out their ambient bar and mouthwatering Italian eatery, Felice.  Perfect for families or couples who value five star facilities and impeccable service in one of New York City’s most popular areas.

We recently stayed at the Graduate New York, located on Roosevelt Island, and were lucky enough to book “The Big Experience.”  This sprawling three bedroom suite is a tribute to the iconic Tom Hanks movie, Big.  We couldn’t believe all the details from nostalgic 90s toys and candy to the same sheets, decor, and even clothes Hanks wore in the movie.  The highlight for our kids was the fun filled bunk bed room complete with skateboard ramp and the FAO Schwartz floor piano.  There was even an authentic Zoltar machine handing out fortunes.  We loved the incredible NYC views and their mouthwatering in house restaurant.  An unforgettable and unique experience for your next stay in NYC.

Huge family suites, skiiing for all levels, adrenaline filled snow tubing, an arcade split over two levels, laser tag, bowling, and and a huge variety of restaurants which will please even the pickiest palates, Camelback Resort is a must for a family vacation.  We felt right at home in our spacious room complete with two queen beds, a lounge and dining area, and open balcony overlooking the mountains.  Our children spent hours playing in the arcade and partaking in snow activities throughout our stay.  Snow Tubing was a huge highlight with a night session featuring disco lights and warm waffles beside the fire pits to finish the session.  Camelback boasts one of the most popular indoor waterparks in the country and Aquatopia did not disappoint. Waterslides for all ages, a huge wave pool, surfing fun on the flow rider, and even private cabanas to ensure our comfort throughout the day.  We highly recommend their delicious breakfast buffet at Hemispheres, the freshly baked pizzas at Grafitti Pizza, and warm comfort food and apres ski vibes at Trails End Pub & Grill.  Camelback makes everything seamless and easy for families from check in and parking to planning a day full of unforgettable activities. A must for a weekend getaway this winter.

We had the best snowy getaway at Clubhouse Hotel & Suites . The family friendly hotel is ideal for those with young children and perfectly located for an exciting trip.  We felt right at home in our spacious suite complete with two queen beds, a large separate lounge and dining room, and even a small kitchenette. Our children loved the indoor swimming pool and water slides and I was able to make full use of the well equipped gym and relaxing jacuzzi.  We were within easy reach of Downtown Fargo and a variety of delicious restaurants and varied shopping options. The breakfast buffet was always an amazing way to start the day and included a fresh waffle station and plenty of healthy choices for the whole family.  The hotel also offers a complimentary airport shuttle and informative staff who were always on hand to answer questions and help with any requests.  A great choice for families and groups looking for a relaxed trip to the Fargo area.
