They often offer deep discounts off summer rack rates or other incentives such as attraction tickets or discounts. If you’re bringing the kids, check out these hotels with great indoor water features so your little ones can splash and swim even on cooler days or our favorite hotels for kids, which feature unique amenities like on-site bowling alleys and on-site water parks.
