An overnight stay at my favorite hotel

What activities will you choose when you have an overnight to recharge yourself?

Sometimes, with day to day routine activities, it is necessary to get away and do something else for a while to then return with fresh mind and relaxing feeling.  I would say that it is necessary to schedule a ‘me time’ because this is the time only for myself where I can decide on what activities to do.

Create a time to spoil myself, be it to explore my favorite hobbies or spending some money to buy myself few dream products.

Is spending an overnight stay in a hotel be your choice of ‘me time’ too? As for me, one of my ‘me time’ will be to stay at my favorite hotel and enjoying the whole hotel facilities and services.  So, it is important for me to get the information about my preferred hotel before deciding to book.

In this writing, I want to highlight several points before choosing a hotel to spend my overnight stay and to fully explore the hotel facilities and services.  These points can also become part of criteria for my selected hotel.

1. Check the hotel location

Location of the hotel selected will depend on how I plan to spend my day in the hotel.  If I prefer to have a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, then I will choose a hotel in suburb area, in highlands or mountains sphere or noiseless beaches.  Alternatively, the hotel location in city area can also be an option if I am in the mood to listen to the sound of lively city.

2. Check the availability of room type, price and benefits included

Time to spoil myself, so it is a time to be flexible in budget to spend.  Does the hotel offer higher room category besides the standard room?  Will you choose a leading room category with breakfast or will you be generous to yourself and select higher category room type?

I will choose a minimum of a room with lounge facilities or a suite room so I will have enough space to get some inspiration for my writing.  Then, enjoy myself in the lounge tasting delicious cuisines and drinks before heading off to my next activity.

3. Find out the number of restaurant available at the hotel

Besides the all-day dining restaurant, does the hotel have other specialty dining venue? This can become part of ‘me time’ journey by enjoying the delicacies offered in the restaurant.  If a hotel has 3 restaurants, each with different specialty to offer then I can plan a culinary adventure entertaining myself for breakfast, lunch and dinner in 3 different restaurants.

A hotel with room service facilities will be a good idea too, because I can then order my favorite meals in the room with no rush to enjoy after my busy activities in a day.

4. Discover the relaxation facilities provided at the hotel

Does the hotel offer spa facilities?  Does the hotel provide comprehensive fitness center with jacuzzi and steam room? How about checking the facilities of fully complete body treatment?

I can schedule of ‘being lazy’ session in the morning before breakfast so I can restore my energy and am ready with the next adventure.

5. Explore the recreational facilities onsite

Does exploring the recreational facilities become part of my agenda? Does the hotel have unique outdoor or indoor swimming pool? What is the water temperature of swimming pool? Does the hotel have spacious jogging track or tennis and basketball court?

I guess with only one day to spend I would choose to enjoy my afternoon time in swimming pool while waiting for another culinary delight experience on dinner time.

Although I don’t want to be restricted with timing when staying at a hotel during my ‘me time’ but I think it is always good to prepare an initial itinerary so at least, I know how I will spend my overnight stay and also how much budget to prepare.

How about your ‘me time’…..do you also include an overnight stay at a hotel in your list?

Have an enjoyable day.
