Want to get closer to family during the holidays, without being stacked like logs in the guest room? Homewood Suites, a division of Hilton, is offering a Homewood for the Holidays deal that slices 15% off weekend rates from November 1  through January 30, 2010. In these days of deep discounts, 15% might not usually get our attention, but Homewood is also sweetening the pot with a giveaway: weekend guests are automatically entered for a chance to win a $1,000 Visa gift card. 

Homewood offers a lot for families to love. With 280 locations across the US, there’s a good chance of finding one near your in-laws. Plus, these suites come equipped with full kitchen, complimentary breakfasts, separate sleeping areas and on-site perks such as pools, grills, laundry rooms, and recreational options such as half basketball courts. The chain even offers free grocery delivery.

The discount is applied to the Best Available Rate and requires a two-night minimum between Thursday and Sunday.  Check the "Homewood for the Holidays" box on the reservations web page or call 800/225-5466 and ask for the deal.
