You might be a redneck if all a hotel needs to do to lure you in is throw in a couple of TGI Friday’s coupons. So fine, I’m a redneck — loves me some babybacks mercilessly drowned in Jack Daniel’s BBQ sauce more than I loves the Lord himself. That’s why I’ll be parking it at a Country Inns & Suites next time I find myself in one of their 450 US locations. Through Sept. 13, not only will they knock 15% off each night of your stay when you book two or more, they’ll also give you a voucher for a BOGO entree at everyone’s favorite acronymed food chain, or 1/2 off appetizers with purchase of an entree. Ask for the “Sweet Deal” when you book online or by phone: www.countryinns.com; (800) 596-2375. And don’t be bashful about washing all that Jack sauce off your body in one of the hotel’s fine pools (shown above) — high-concentrate chlorine works way better than lemon wipes.
