hen you’re traveling, part of the fun is being Wsomewhere new and exciting. However, sometimes you do like the creature comforts of home…or at least some familiar names and faces. Fortunately, in “America’s Home Town” we have all of your favorite hotel chains, bed & breakfasts, and even campsites. So no matter how you choose to snooze, when you visit Fayetteville you will rest easy every night.
Regardless of where you’re staying and no matter how nice the accommodations, all hotels, inns, and other accommodations could use a little bit of your own personal touches so they will feel more like home. Here are just a few examples: * Hang it up. Don’t live out of a suitcase; hang up your clothes and put them in drawers just like you do at home. This also eliminates clutter and who needs that? * Bring your own. Even if your hotel has toiletry items, we all have our favorites so take them on the road; your favorite shampoo or soap is the perfect way to start—or end—your day. * Get personal. Even one favorite item from home can add a lot to your room. A framed photo of your loved ones would look perfect on your nightstand.
No matter how long you’re visiting us, the last thing we want is for you to get homesick. Then again, you may enjoy Fayetteville so much that you’ll never want to leave and that’s just fine with us!

TRAVELING TO AMERICA’S
GUIDE A R EA DESTINATION AYETTEVILLE HOME TOWN tation | F tation here once was a period in t r ans p o TFayetteville’s colorful history when travelers came in and out of town via a series of plank roads— literally, wooden planks that covered dirt and stone road beds. Luckily, it’s a lot easier to make your way to America’s Home Town…and you have your pick of options, too! All Aboard! A choice the travelers of yesterday did not have was zipping in and out of town via the Fayetteville Regional Spend your travel Airport. Located only eight miles from downtown, the time marveling airport features several flights to and from the major hubs at the natural splendor outside your window until the train pulls into the historic depot right in the heart of downtown Fayetteville.

of Atlanta and Charlotte every day. Once you arrive you’ll find a variety of rental car options that will make your trip even simpler. Getting to Greater Fayetteville via North Carolina’s beautiful blue skies is quick and easy.
Then there are those of us that like to travel at a more relaxed pace and revel in the glory of the golden age of transportation via the “iron horse” better known as the train. Amtrak makes four local stops—two southbound, two northbound—every day so you can spend your travel time marveling at the natural splendor outside your window until the train pulls into the historic depot right in the heart of downtown Fayetteville. All aboard!
Fortunately, if you want to leave the plane and train schedules behind, you are definitely in luck as Fayetteville is even easier to get to by car. Conveniently located right off Interstate 95, we have the perfect pit stop for a couple of hours, a couple of days...or even a couple of weeks! As easy as Greater Fayetteville is to get to, you’ll still find it hard to leave!
