What to Look for in a Budget Hotel for Couples
Before diving into the best hotels, let’s discuss what makes a hotel the perfect choice for couples. (Hint: It’s not just about the heart-shaped tub!)
Key Factors:
- Location
- Is it close to popular attractions or public transportation?
- Trust me, you don’t want to spend your time driving.
- Style
- Is it comfortable or has a social atmosphere?
- Does it feel like a place where you can unwind?
- Hotel Amenities
- Think pools, spas, or even a hotel bar where you can hang out and have cocktails all day.
- Privacy
- Everything has to be affordable but still feel intimate and romantic.
- Food
- It’s a bonus if the hotel has a good restaurant or is close to one.
