For your next romantic getaway, why settle for champagne on ice and rose petals on the bed when you could opt for mirrored ceilings and heart-shaped Jacuzzis? A handful of hotels, motels and bed-and-breakfasts across the country can transform—and spice up—an otherwise cookie-cutter couples escape with over-the-top themed rooms that invite pure fantasy. We’ve curated a handful of the kitschiest properties to ignite passion, and perhaps inspire some tongue-in-cheek chuckles, as well. RELATED: 8 ways to indulge in self-care without breaking the bank Cove Haven Resort: Lakeville, PA Photo courtesy of Cove Haven Resort This couples resort in the Poconos Mountains is a vintage throwback to romancing circa 1960, mainly because it’s been around for that long and has curiously evaded a modern facelift. Cove Haven Resort is most famous for its 7-foot-high champagne glass-shaped whirlpools. If you can’t score a room with this novelty, however, don’t fret. All suites come with a heart-shaped jetted tub for two and a log-burning fireplace. Madonna Inn: San Luis Obispo, CA Photo courtesy of Madonna Inn Step into a whimsical paradise at Madonna Inn, where its 110 guest rooms are each uniquely decorated in a Boho-vintage style that blends the movie set aesthetic of Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. Think patterned wallpaper, quirky antiques, upcycled furniture and plush pillows in bold colors. Valentine’s Day is every day in the “Hearts & Flowers” or “Love Nest” rooms, the latter of which features a winding staircase to a private viewing tower. Don Q Inn: Dodgeville, WI Photo courtesy of Don Q Inn Warm up in southwestern Wisconsin. The 25 themed rooms at Don Q Inn include one called “Northern Lights,” where you can heat things up in a full-sized igloo. To add to the ambience, the in-room whirlpool overlooks an arctic landscape mural. Among the other favorites: “Cupid’s Corner,” which includes a heart-shaped bed with a mirrored ceiling, and “Up, Up and Away,” which features a giant hot air balloon bed—perfect for those who dream of escapes in the air but may be fearful of heights. Black Swan Inn: Pocatello, ID Photo courtesy of Black Swan Inn The Black Swan Inn is a bed-and-breakfast experience where the murals and sculptures–and even the showers—that occupy each of its 14 rooms will transport you into a different universe. Options range from “Mayan Rainforest” and “English Garden” to “The Wild West” and “Arabian Nights.” There are also two cave-themed options, one of which features a gigantic clam shell bed. Adventure Suites: North Conway, NH Photo courtesy of Adventure Suites Adventure Suites is a playful hotel in the White Mountains with a legacy dating back to the 1950s. It offers something for everyone in its 20 themed rooms. Among them, the “Love Shack” suite features the psychedelic décor of the 1970s, such as black lights, a disco ball, martini sink and a Chevy car. “The Jungle” suite, with its lush greenery and exotic animals (don’t worry, they’re not real), has a hot tub at the base of a rock waterfall and a fiber optic night sky ceiling with shooting stars. Red Carpet Inn and FantaSuite Hotel: Greenwood, IN Photo courtesy of Red Carpet Inn Enjoy your “Happily Ever After” in the Cinderella room at the Red Carpet Inn and FantaSuite Hotel. This suite includes a queen-sized bed within a horse-drawn carriage, as well as a “glass slipper” whirlpool. It’s one of 20 themed suites at this property just outside of Indianapolis. Among the diverse themes are two intergalactic fantasy rooms: “Space Odyssey”—which features a moon crater whirlpool—and “Alien Invasion,” whose highlights include a flying saucer bed and over-sized Jacuzzi with mirrors surrounding it. Anniversary Inn – 5th South: Salt Lake City Photo courtesy of Anniversary Inn As the name suggests, Anniversary Inn caters to couples who want to celebrate a relationship milestone—by stepping into a fantasy. Take bedroom role-playing to the next level in the “Wild West” room, where you can sleep in or engage in “wild” activities in a covered wagon. Or, opt for a bed encased within an old-fashioned carriage with a stay in the “English Countryside” room. Anniversary Inn has four locations: three in the Salt Lake area and one in Boise. Gallery Holiday Motel: South Amboy, NJ Photo courtesy of Gallery Holiday Motel If any state can take tacky romance to another level, it’s New Jersey. Within the Garden State, just 45 minutes from New York City, you’ll find Gallery Holiday Motel. It’s a motel made for hanky-panky, boasting circular beds, colored lights and mirrored ceilings galore. Choose from options such as the “Jungle Suite,” “Neon Suite,” “Ocean Suite” or—what might be the classiest tacky room of the bunch—the “Purple Suite.” The motel is near several popular nightclubs and rents rooms by the night or in 4-hour chunks.

The article is called Cheap Valentine’s Day dates for you and your sweetheart and is located at https://www.cheaptickets.com/blog/2016/02/cheap-valentines-day-dates-for-you-and-your-sweetheart/.CaptchaSubmit Michelle SchumanFebruary 12, 2016 Leave a comment You don’t need white tablecloths or an overpriced meal to impress a date. This year, leave the predictable date itinerary behind—here’s what to do (while saving some dough) on Valentine’s Day in some of America’s coolest cities. Sample wine, cheese and theater in Austin Your romantic day begins with a challenging, thought-provoking play at Austin‘s Zach Theater: Tribes ($29+). The story of a deaf man understanding the nature of community and belonging will give you plenty to talk about as you walkover to nearby House Wine and settle in for some of its namesake libation. This place is about as unpretentious as it is intimate—meaning you can relax and nibble on cheese plates, artisan pizza and s’mores in the dining room or patio. The staff will happily explain the wine list and offer suggestions as you two crazy kids giggle and blush, wiping melted marshmallows from your face. Best of all, you can get 10% off or BOGO dessert if you show them your ticket stub. Get artsy—then down-home—in New York It’s not that often that you can do something in New York for literally $0. But welcome to Greater New York, MoMA PS1’s annual exhibit, which explores our contradictory desires for nostalgia and the new. See the works of emerging and established artists in this Long Island City mainstay before heading down to Williamsburg’s The Commodore. Once tucked into the low-key, no-frills bar, indulge in a little post-art-show conversation over a Tom Collins ($6) and a fried chicken plate with biscuits and hot sauce ($12). If the date’s going well, wander a few blocks to St. Mazie for some cheap-for-New-York cocktails ($10 apiece) and maybe even some live music. Experience the refined and at-ease sides of Chicago Joffrey’s Bold Moves marries visual art, groundbreaking musical compositions and history into a trio of visually stunning ballet performances. It’s also quite cheap for a production of this quality—tickets start at $58. Afterwards, you and your hungry date can head to Furious Spoon in Wicker Park for one of the city’s best bowls of ramen ($7–$12). After downing the last of your thick, savory tonkatsu broth, wander across the street to Revel Room. This dark, trendy bar will create an intimate setting for the last leg of yourdate. Toast to a successful evening—and the fact that (s)he is okay with watching you shamelessly slurp down noodles—with a craft beer ($5–$10) or a house cocktail ($10). Start your romancing early in Boston This Valentine’s Day, start the festivities early, and with a kick! Sample some Spanish brunch options like breakfast lamb bocadillo ($13) and churros con chocolate ($8) at Jamaica Plain hotspot Tres Gatos. Then, head into Chinatown and the brisk outdoors for the Chinese New Year Parade to see lion dances, firecrackers and catchy drum beats as performers flood the streets. But your date isn’t over yet—make sure you dress warm, because it’ll be cold on the nearby Frog Pond ice rink. If you don’t have skates of your own, fear not (and channel any worries into not falling down). You can rent skates onsite for $12. See Atlanta’s wild side Craving a creative way to celebrate with your sweetheart in Atlanta? Start with a good, hearty lunch at bartaco. Then, after having your fill of shrimp bahn mi rice bowls ($8), al pastor tacos ($2.50) and mushroom mole tamales ($5), head on over to the High Museum of Art for the cheekily named heARTS in the City scavenger hunt ($50 per couple). From 1:00-4:00 p.m., you can scour the museum—filled with pieces by Georgia O’Keefe, Gerhard Richter and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec—to solve puzzles and complete challenges. Along the way, you’ll run into some tasty snacks, too. Pull out all the stops in Denver Planning an old-fashioned, romantic date for your Valentine? Denver’s the perfect town. After enjoying an intimate feast at Osteria Marco—think butternut squash pizza with gorgonzola ($13) and meatball sliders ($7)—enjoy an intimate murder at Murder for Two, a ‘musical murder mystery’ whose intrigue and twists are playing out on the Garner Galleria Theatre’s stage. After this two-man ensemble solves the crime, harnessing only their wit and a piano, cab it over to The Bar Car for a sexy yet laid-back nightcap amid this beautiful, antique-inspired bar and its jukebox of ‘80s hits. We recommend the the Irish mule, made with a hardy splash of Jameson ($8).
