From family travel to hiking, most Minnesotans believe they have an understanding of what a weekend on the North Shore has to offer. However, a growing trend is finding travelers booking stays during the week to gain new perspectives, value and advantages sometimes absent during traditional weekend ventures. Here are a few reasons to discover midweek stays, according to Odyssey Resorts that is leading the way on the North Shore promoting ‘MidWeekend’ opportunities:
For the best lodging options, booking your stay on weekdays can offer a greater selection to choose from. As an example, Caribou Highlands near Lutsen, with living quarters as diverse and unique as its guests, can fill up quickly on weekends. MidWeekend trips are a good bet to guarantee lodging that’s tailored to your travel plans and group size.
For savvy spenders, scheduling a MidWeekend stay often offers great value. Lodging rates can be more affordable during the week, allowing guests to allocate money for other travel expenditures – or, upgrade your accommodations. At Grand Superior Lodge, for instance, high-quality log homes and suites can be economical.
For optimizing your experience, MidWeekend trips offer a more flexible schedule. Easy in-store transactions and uncrowded locations grant guests more control over precious travel time. Those who book trips during the week enjoy a convenient travel experience. At East Bay Suites, Grand Marais, with all of the nearby stores, locales and things to do, you can relax knowing midweek there’s plenty of time to sleep in and grab breakfast at your own pace. After all, the famous World’s Best Donuts is right down the block.
For the “local life,” scheduling a MidWeekend trip can offer an experience that’s authentic. Don’t be a tourist. Revel in all the sights, sounds and activities that are enjoyed day-to-day by those within the community. Beacon Pointe in Duluth is one example. Enjoy nearby dining at Breeze Inn, to be featured on ‘Man v. Food’ in June, and pastimes such as Glensheen Estate while avoiding the scores of other travelers who will be showing up when the weekend rolls around.
“More and more guests are exploring the MidWeekend travel option,” said Chuck Paton, President of Odyssey Resorts. “For many, it’s their first time booking a stay during the middle of the week. Overwhelmingly, once-skeptic guests leave impressed with its benefits, expressing an intention to book a MidWeekend stay again.”
