United States
 
Hi everybody!!
I come from Belgium and I would like to travel this summer for 2 weeks with my sister-in-law.
United States is a big dream for me but I would like some advice...
Can someone help me to find a good hotel in Florida or elsewhere in United States, please?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

My favorite chain of hotels = Hilton.

http://www3.hilton.com/en/index.html

Use that website to find a good hotel in Florida or almost any state in the US.

Hampton Inns are at a moderate price point, offer a free breakfast and are consistently clean and nice.

Since you come from Belgium, you may not understand that the heat and humidity in the summer in Florida can be oppressive. For many, it is certainly too much to tour or even sit on the beach, just run between one air conditioned location and sanother. You may want to take this into consideration for a "big dream" trip.

Sorry, but you need to give us more information in order for us to make meaningful recommendations. There are thousands upon thousands of "good hotels in Florida or elsewhere in the United States". The United States is a very big country and you certainly can't see it all in 2 weeks. Quite honestly, in that short period you can barely scratch the surface. To put things in perspective its a bit like me telling you I'm planning to visit Europe and asking you to recommend a good hotel.

Also, when asking for a "good" hotel it would help if you could tell us what "good" means to you. Does "good" mean a 5-star hotel in the center of a large city that offers huge penthouse suites with spectacular view and the finest amenities or are you looking a modest 3-star hotel in near public transportation or perhaps a 2-star motel further out in the country - you can find them all.

Many first time visitors to the US go to the bigger cities - say New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles or maybe Boston where they don't need a car and can either walk or use public transportation to see the sights. Some prefer to rent a car and drive through the countryside enjoying the scenery. Still others take organized land tours that take groups of people to various location via motor coaches and where all your activities and accommodations are pre-planned.

Your first step is to narrow your focus to a city or geographic area you'd like to visit and concentrate your research there. Tell us what type of places you'd like to visit and what type of activities interest you.

Also, it would help if you could give us a budget range you are willing to spend for accommodations, food and activities. Give a dollar range not some meaningless term like "affordable" or "not too expensive" as we have no idea what you can afford or what you think is expensive.

This sounds like a troll.

We'll offer suggestions as soon as you tell us what hotel we should stay at in Europe.

See the problem?

What is your budget per night in USD for lodging and will you have a car? You need one for most of Florida.

Are you only going to Florida? Hope not.

This whole Florida bashing routine is getting tiresome.

The Bates Motel chain is often overlooked
