Date Idea: Hometown Hotel

By Jessica Conigliaro and Carly Horowitz

Plan an exciting “stay-cation” with your partner, and spend the weekend in a hotel right down the block. Going on vacation is usually extremely costly. But luckily, it doesn’t have to be. If you’re looking for a few inexpensive nights of relaxation, simply stay in your hometown. Even though you’re not traveling too far, this still serves as a romantic getaway because it is always beneficial to spend some time with your boo out of the house.

Enjoy a romantic and quick date idea while saving some bucks!

Order scrumptious room service and spend some peaceful time together without worrying about any responsibilities. Cuddle up in bed and rent a movie- maybe watch something that you both missed when it was in theaters. Don’t forget the popcorn!

Additionally, use this time to bond with your partner by going to the gym together. A “stay-cation” is the perfect opportunity to reset your workout routine – you have a free gym at your disposal!
