Tip- don't say yes to your wife on a one-night anniversary overnight without checking the rates

[GON]

Wife texted me and said she found a hotel in Colorado Springs for us to spend a one night anniversary in October. Three days later we will be in the area for our oldest Grandson's birthday.

Being out of town working, I simply said yes without checking the rates.

The rates START at $1,000 USD per night. Ouch, ouch, ouch. This place is reportedly booked/ sold out often. How the heck can a place in Colorado Springs command $1,000 USD per night for the weekday in October....

When you don't see your wife for stretches at a time, you need to make concessions and stay at

The World's Longest-Running Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five-Diamond Resort​

When I saw "Colorado Springs", I knew it had to be the Broadmoor.

I think they are hosting the Senior U.S. Open this weekend.

Just look how happy they are at the Broadmoor with their $90 meal that includes the cup-o-fries:

and the fireplace..........VERY romantic

Jack Nicholson slept there.

Hopefully $1000 is a bummer not a problem in your life.

The wealth

Seems reasonable

I won't buy a bottle of water at the airport on principle, not if I can afford it. I can swing the $1,000 monetarily. Not sure I can swing the $1,000 mentally.

Try the Rocky Mountain oysters at Estes Park sometime. The hedge maze at the Stanley Hotel is only 3 feet tall but I still pretended I was lost and being stalked by a serial killer.

I bring my own hydroflask to the airport but if I'm traveling on business, I'm buying the $3.50 bottle of Evian.

Not happening. Ever.

Crikey! Well, might as well enjoy it, you are paying for it!

Thanks, good recommendation. Maybe the right thing to do is adjust my attitude.

Tip: say yes, don’t ever bring up the cost. If she brings it up, tell her she’s worth it.

If you have excellent income yes, otherwise, sorry, no.

We are talking about the OP, who stated that the cost wasn’t a hardship.

So, have you not taken your wife somewhere that she thinks is special?
