Our Last Post About Valentine's Day Hotels

January 23, 2009 at 12:31 PM | by | Comment (1)

For some reason this year, hotels are going crazy with creating Valentine's Day Packages. Perhaps they are frantic about the waning economy and figure if you must spend money in these tough times it might as well be to please your wife. Or husband. Or lover. Or escort.

Whomever you are spending Valentine's Day with, hotels want you to spend this romantic day with them. The only problem is we're getting overloaded with Valentine's Day packages and most of them are pretty routine. We've tried to highlight the most unusual ones---strip poker sets in room, creepy love story writers, tent pitching and so forth--but we're actually getting pretty tired of photoshopping bright pink hearts onto photos.

So, this is our last post on Valentine's Day Hotels for 2009. And we're going out with a bang. After the jump, we've listed 10 Valentine's Day hotel packages that have caught our eye. Read 'em and get frisky.
