Now thanks to VibeAgent.com, figuring out what hotels close to home are the best is easy. Travelers can simply search VibeAgent.com to find the best hotels at getaways just one tank of gas away.

(NOTE: I could NOT do this on the Vibe Agent website. When I searched on Phoenix, Arizona, the farthest distance that I could get for hotel informat was 20 miles, not 250 miles! - Alan)
