I want to surprise my husband for his birthday by renting a nice hotel room for an afternoon. But I am concerned about checking out and what they will say when I leave.  Any suggestions?

you dont have to worry about it they will be discreet. You can rent a room for half day. Most if prepaid dont even require checkout just leave key in room. And you can get hotel ammenity points if you belong to there guest club. I like best westerns

I know exactly what you are talking about.  How inconsiderate can some people be? They are really putting you in an akward place by just showing up but I think you should tell them your house is full and give them the name of the sleziest hotel in town for them to spend the night and maybe next time they will be the first to RSVP.

Go to the hotel, lock the door, have a few drinks, get undressed(optional), and don't leave till you figure it out. I think writing down what you want to talk about, is a great idea for you.

I would have to say since your pregnant NO this idea is just due to your hormones being out of whack.  Try cooking him dinner in the nude of course while he's watching you. Then maybe the two of you could take a candlelight bubble bath.  You and only you can do the nasty with him.  Put silk sheets on the bed and through rose petals all over the floor and the bed.  With your hormones on the blitz if you get the girls to join, you will probably then start accusing him of having an affair. So keep the birthday PARTY just for you and him.  Good Luck and have fun.

Why is a cheap person staying at a hotel that charges at least $350 a night?\nMaybe you aren't giving them the service they expect...\nAnyway I'm sure you get even with them someway!

Hi there- I'm getting married in Vegas on a Sunday.  It wasn't necessarily "cheaper" but we were able to negotiate a lower food/beverage minimum with our hotel.  And, we've been able to use it to better negotiate with the photographers and other vendors.  Just beware of any holiday weekends.

I don't think it is possible.  Hotel guest lists are confindential.  If your looking for a certain person you can just call and ask for them.  If their staying there they will tell you.

I tell them I was not expecting you! I am really not up to company right now. ____day would be much better. Could you come in the morning or afternoon?(smiling):)\n\nSomething along those lines. I don't like to fabricate stories and I am not afraid to hurt feelings as it is extremely rude to stop by any ones home unannounced.\n\nGuarantee it won't happen again.

$350 is good but remember your letting a stranger in your home..\ni would recommend getting a good lock for your personal room and keep valuables in there and lock it.\nsorry i am a  skeptical of everyone and anyone..\ni've had weirdo's go through my laundry and steal my swim suit.\nyou may have the greatest time ever.. my daughter had someone spend 3 months from Switzerland and she loved it and had a great time.. but it can go real wrong...and fast....\nbut good luck..and hope it works out.. could be the best thing ever or worst...

first of all think simple. it is your b-day so don't stress a walk in the park is fine. dinner and a movie at home is cool to. you could go bowling or to an arcade. the list is endless. as to his reaction all can do is ask if he doesn't answer his lose.

If you are going to give a gift card - make it a game for him to find it so that the gift IS personal.\n\nI made up computer generated "coupons" for all sorts of services (including adult content things) and left post-it notes all over the house telling him where to go next like a scavenger hunt...sometimes he got "favors", sometimes there were silly things like a Snickers bar or a bottle of wine...when he finally got to the end of the trip, he found the card inside a pair of underwear (that I was wearing) that said "both of these are for you"...\n\nIt was fun and he has asked me for a gift card again!!!

If you are concerned then why not go out with him when he arrives so you will be in a public place - make out that it was a meeting point as opposed to the location for the evening.  It's best to get to know people better before inviting them over - you have to be careful these days.  He may be fine but it's wise to be cautious.

Absolutely, it's safe!  Things are much the same as in a really friendly pub.  If you're not interested, just say "No thank you."\n\nDon't do anything you're not comfortable with and pleasuredome is supposed to be the pants!  I wish I were going.

if he cares about your future, i'm sure he's willing to push back the dinner reservations, or even move them to a different day. maybe the night before, or the day after. the restaurant, as well as the beach will always be there. i know it's his birthday, but he should be gracious about it. if he throws a hissy-fit about it, that tells you how much he cares about your future.

Try the fairmont. It's a block from Michigan Ave. right downtown. I believe it's a 5 star and I've gotten rooms there for $137 a night. You have to check by calling the front desk directly to get the best price.

To the guest:  You know upfront how much the room and food will cost.  You don't have to worry about saving enough money one day to enjoy a night out in the restaurant the next.  Plus they usually have a lot of included activities, although excursions and special services, e.g. massages, are extra.\n\nTo the hotel: A more predictible cash flow, since both the room and food are booked in advance.  Plus, you are a captive audience; this is more literally true on cruise ships but still it is often not easy to go "off resort" to book excursions, whereas they make it real easy to do it through them.\n\nFor the staff:  A wealthier clientele (people who book all-inclusive vacations tend to have more disposable income if I'm not mistaken.)  On cruise ships there is also the chance to develop a more personal relationship, i.e. your room steward is your room steward for the week, your waiter is your waiter for the week, etc.
