Five Hotels for Quick MLK Day Getaways

Martin Luther King Day is just around the corner and for most of America (except HotelChatter*), this is a day off from work that was designated in honor of the greatest civil rights leader of our time. Except it's really just a three-day weekend with an excuse to go away. (If you want to buck the trend, make it a day of service instead.)

While Chris Elliott says 2009 will be the year of the "naycation", we tend to think that now more than ever people need to escape all the doom and gloom. (Or as Gadling put it, a "yaycation.") But where will all these yaycationers go?

Skiing and someplace warm seem to be the top two types of quickie getaways. So we looked at a few hotels that were either in the mountains or near the beach. We tried to pick ones with reasonable rates but also ones that had a lot to do on the properties themselves (thus saving you from having to trek or drive anywhere else).

Without any further interruption, here are our Five Best Hotels for Quickie MLK Day Getaways.
