Orlando was named the best city for “small town favorites” by Hotwire. The city is home to Disney World as well as the world’s tallest and largest escape room. Fort Lauderdale, another Florida city, came in second place on this list. Following Fort Lauderdale came Reno, Nevada.
For very small cities, Savannah topped the list, which makes perfect sense because of its incredible food and Southern charm. Following Savannah are Palm Springs and Newport Beach, both found in California.

Hotwire also reported that 79% of travelers said that they would use the money they saved by booking a quick trip in order to level up the trip and make it more luxurious. 83% of travelers said that spontaneous, quick trips of 2-3 days were a fantastic option.
Hotwire’s director of brand, PR, and social, Melissa Postier, shared with Travel + Leisure: “[these getaways] allow travelers to not only save more when they book last minute in the Hotwire app, but that added spontaneity helps minimize the risk of unexpected travel restrictions popping up.”
