The last few years Derek has given me a night off for my birthday. Last year was a disaster.
My room didn't have heat
+ had to move rooms at 2 in the morning
+There was construction being done on the hotel
+ loud noise early in the morning.
= no sleep, no relaxation, not happy!
This year Derek sent me to a VERY fancy hotel in downtown Portland. It was a five star hotel called The Nines. I thought I had been to some nice places until I saw this. Nothing could compare. The pictures don't do it justice.
Obviously the rooms were beautiful. But what made it great were the details. Plush robe to wear in your room, marble bathrooms, carpet was incredibly soft, beds were comfortable. They had top of the line exercise room. Each piece of excercise equipment had its own TV and "personal trainer". They had a gorgeous library with wall to wall books where you could sit and read. I never had to carry my own bags- there was always someone there to assist me.
I had a great time. Once I got there, I didn't leave the hotel until they kicked me out (except to get dinner-who can afford a $8 glass of OJ?) I got some nice Rest and Relaxation.
Derek- all the past experiences at hotels are forgiven! Thanks!

Okay now I wish I would have made the drive up there. I am glad you had a good time.
