Real Stays from my travels, complete with honest experiences, and travel inspiration to help you plan your next escape.

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown

I chose this stay mainly because I'm obsessed with great views and balconies, and it did not disappoint! ✨ The hotel has a luxurious feel with a modern design, beautiful balcony options, and a rooftop bar serving delicious cocktails. It's also within walking distance of Anakeesta and close to everything the Smoky Mountains have to offer. If you're planning a visit to Gatlinburg, I definitely recommend this one! 🌄🍹

Cambria Hotel - Madeira Beach

Cambria Hotel Madeira Beach is my favorite stay in the Madeira Beach/St. Pete Beach area! 🌅 I chose it for the views and rooftop area, and it is well worth it. It's also within walking distance of the beach, bars, restaurants, and shops. The only downside is the daily parking fee, so be sure to check with the hotel for current rates. 🌴✨

Arlo No Mad - NYC

Arlo No Mad was the perfect home base for my NYC adventure! 🏙️ I chose it for the incredible city views and modern vibe, and it exceeded my expectations. The location is hard to beat—close to major attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. If you love skyline views and being in the heart of the action, this is a great choice for New York City. ✨rl
