Getting More for Your Money

Whether you’re on the road for work or planning a group getaway with your organization, finding affordable comfort matters more than ever.

For traveling professionals and SMERFs, balancing budgets with convenience doesn’t have to mean sacrificing quality. That’s where Mayfield, a collection of mid-scale independent properties make all the difference. When you’re planning a getaway, you want more than just a place to stay – you want a home away from home.

Here’s how to travel smarter – and why Mayfield should be part of your festive season plans.

1. Book Early and direct

   Prices for flights, rentals, and lodging climb quickly as the holidays approach. The earlier you secure your plans, the more value you’ll lock in. At Mayfield, you’ll find consistently fair rates, with the option to book direct for the best available deal. Travelers can enjoy exclusive savings, perfect for work teams or SMERF gatherings looking to maximize every dollar.

   Booking direct with an independent hotel not only allows them to keep revenue lost in OTA fees and give back to small businesses, it also allows direct communication for booking changes, as we all know – no matter how much we plan, sometimes life happens!

2. Community Comfort Without the Cost
   

   Affordable doesn’t have to mean basic. Mayfield hotels are for travelers who want reliable comfort, modern amenities, and genuine hospitality all at a mid-scale price point. Throughout a wide range of independent hotels in the Mayfield collection, you can enjoy free Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast, and comfortable workspaces that support productivity on the go. For group travelers, many Mayfield properties offer meeting areas, flexible room layouts, and ample parking – everything needed for an easy, budget-conscious stay.

3. Travel Off-Peak and Enjoy More Flexibility

   If your travel schedule allows, plan around the busiest festive travel days. Mid-week flights and off-peak hotel stays can mean big savings. With Mayfield hotels located near key business districts, universities, and regional centers, it’s easy to plan a convenient trip that avoids inflated city-center prices without compromising on access or comfort.

4. Stay Longer, Save More

   If you’re extending your trip to mix work and leisure, many Mayfield hotels offer multi-night discounts and weekly rates that reward you for staying longer. Business travelers appreciate the balance – professional-grade amenities during the week, and the local charm and relaxation of a weekend escape. It’s the perfect business and pleasure option for the festive season.
