| - My husband surprised me with a night at the Ritz, and let me tell you, it was beyond amazing!
We called the hotel directly to request a bed and breakfast package and asked if there were any local incentives. This is a great tip, by the way. If you are staying in a local hotel, make sure you mention it. Many upscale hotels have these deals, from their perspective, you're just a local advertisement for them!
We checked in around 7:30pm and were greeted very warmly. We also requested to be on the highest floor our rate would allow. We ended up on the 12th floor with a great view. Due to a little hiccup in registration, the front desk sent up a bottle of Prosseco for us. Such a lovely surprise! We ate at BLT and enjoyed impeccable service and delicious food.
Absolutely everything we could have thought of was already there to make our stay enjoyable. The next morning we had complimentary full breakfast in our room and it was delicious. The local paper was delivered, the bathrobes were soft and fluffy, the bed was like sleeping on a cloud and every single staff member was warm and professional. The price tag was definitely a splurge, even with a local incentive, but well worth it. In my opinion, we got way more for our money.
The Lobby Lounge is still a very nice place for a drink after dinner, as this hotel knows how to incorporate themselves well with the local scene. Go, for any reason, or for none at all. You won't be disappointed.
