Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

the sentence "My family will spend four nights in a hotel in Ashland." is not a run-on sentence.

A run-on sentence is a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses that are not joined by a coordinating conjunction (such as and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet) or a semicolon. The sentence "My family will spend four nights in a hotel in Ashland." contains only one independent clause, so it cannot be a run-on sentence.

The sentence could be improved by adding a comma after the word "nights" to separate the two independent clauses: "My family will spend four nights in a hotel in Ashland, and we are looking forward to our trip."
