Hotels immerse guests in the comforts of home as effectively as a childhood blanket or a pair of enchanted ruby slippers filled with chicken-noodle soup. Escape to a magical world of luxury with today’s Groupon: for $50, you get a one-night stay in a standard queen or king room at Comfort Inn Southwest (up to a $100.44 value). Each room accommodates up to four guests.

Comfort Inn Southwest opens up its king- and queen-sized arms to travelers in spacious guest rooms infused with natural sunlight and stocked with a full slate of amenities. The rooms’ creamy wall tones and subtle floral arrangements pleasantly contrast with the blacks and whites of complimentary daily newspapers and the flickering lights of cable television. Laptops nuzzle up to hardwood desks while guests scan free WiFi for the Internet’s latest offerings and put the finishing touches on strongly worded letters to Santa. After wrapping up their business and indulging in a warm bath, guests can sprawl across one of two plush queen beds or a giant king bed and slip into a halcyon slumber disturbed only by affectionate nudges from their dogs or cats, who are also welcome in the rooms. With the rising sun comes fresh waffles at the continental breakfast and invigorating calorie-torching sessions in the fitness center.

A long-distance traveler’s oasis, Comfort Inn Southwest’s convenient location allows for short trips back and forth from Interstate 80 and Interstate 680. A plethora of downtown attractions awaits exploration nearby, including the Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Lauritzen Gardens, where visitors can reverse the effects of a long night’s relaxation with a harrowing escape from the exhibit of hungry carnivorous plants.
