To escape Hurricane Irma, my family evacuated to the Towneplace Suites by Marriott in Auburn, Alabama for two nights and now are staying in Nashville for our Steem meetup tomorrow as explained at https://steemit.com/meetup/@jerrybanfield/steem-meetup-in-nashville-saturday-sept-9.
Would you like to see the hotel we stayed at in the pictures below because I find it fun to check out where my friends are staying and I hope this post format is helpful to see how to do good travel posts? My wife @laurabanfield suggested this picture in front of the hotel with the dogs and our daughter for the main photo!
Entering the parking lot!
Looks brand new from the outside!
I enjoyed watching CNN predict how much Hurricane Irma would dump on Florida in the lobby!
The hallway smells so fresh!
We chose this hotel because it is pet friendly even for our big dogs!
Awesome coat hangers!
Full kitchen suite!
The drawers are fully loaded even with knives and Pyrex type dishes!
Huge living room with a fold out sofa!
3 HD TVs and we never turned one on ...
I made 4 posts on Steem from this dining room table!
Two bedroom suite is SO nice for putting our daughter to bed!
Our bedroom.
As impressive as the blackout curtains looked, a lot of light came in on the first floor because of the lamps outside.
Sink separate from the toilet!
Sunset!
Breakfast bar pictures kindly taken by my wife @laurabanfield.
Beautiful pool that we never went in or saw anyone using!
Thank you for noticing!
Why bother to take the extra time to do this post?
- Given this hotel is new, this post will have the chance to be the top blog result anyone finds when Googling this hotel indefinitely which will bring more readers here!
- I had fun doing my own travel post after seeing so many by those I follow!
- With doing this as a part of my blog here which is on its way to being the top income earner for my business online, the entire stay and the miles we drove to get here is a business expense saving me at least a hundred dollars in taxes.
Thank you very much for reading this! If you would like me to do more posts like this wherever I stay, would you please leave an upvote because that will ensure you get to enjoy more adventures with me?
Love,
Jerry Banfield

Im glad you and others where smart enough to get out of there and not risk it. Its honestly not worth sticking around.

The weather has been going crazy! It's been super hot here in California, but summer's over.
I hope you bounce back from these hurricanes soon, Jerry. It's awesome to see you still posting content in a time like this. I bet there's a bunch to worry about. Nice looking dogs!
Hope all goes well, Jerry!

Good job, Jerry - Yes you can do hotel reviews. Or any reviews. Keep your eyes open and review anything - restaurants, attractions, software etc.
You did really well. For future:
It's good to summarize your pros/cons in the beginning of the reviews for people who are trying to decide where to stay. Give them the bottom line up front and then they can read further for details.
Go over your reviews for seo before you post them. They will be evergreen and generate traffic over time. The location, hotel name, and "hotel review" should be repeated about three times each throughout any review of more than 500 words.
For your photos
Your text, tone and family stories are all perfect. Keep that going.
Your exterior shots are really good.The unused pool breaks my heart. I love the coat hangers so much.
If you are not on viglink, please use my link to join. You need a self-hosted blog to sign up with them. Then you get access to their 70K in Merchants and you can promote their products like I do. I link to booking dot com and many others for travel through viglink.
Glad you are safe up there and now do your next hotel, and your car and your luggage. Affiliate links will definitely work for you and your traffic.

The angle of being the top blog post on Google and advertising Steemit is a good thought.
I'll incorporate that thought into some new posts. It's all about adoption.
Cheers to write-offs also. Your a true opportunist.
Good luck to you and your family. I hope your home weathers the storm ok while you're away. I'm happy to see you making the best of your temporary office.

Please consider VOTING for Jerry Banfield & TeamSteem for Witness !!
Am staying in Ft. Lauderdale on my sailboat... if things look really BAD then I will find some place nearby to go to.... but I need to watch over my boat and a few other boats here because I guess I'm just not as afraid as perhaps I should be... I'm in my 60's and in good shape... and have lived a very full life.
Thanks Again Jerry... oh, almost forgot... LOVE Your Dogs !!
Cheers !!

hey @jerrybanfield good to see you are making most of your time while the hurricane keeps you out of action but looks like even a hurricane as powerful as this cannot stop a true steemian like you.
Loved the ist pic and the way your pet white dog is looking straight into the camera while being clicked.
Take care and stay safe. Hope u can find time to read mine :)

My wife was visiting just down the road from you in Opelika, Al and she will be there until after the storm passes through. She is helping take care of one of our great-nephews who is a type I diabetic while his mother is with his little brother who is in the hospital getting treatments for Cystic Fibrosis. There is a lot of needs in that family!
