Hot Springs, Arkansas

Posts Tagged ‘budget’

I am taking a romantic weekend “get-a-way” trip with my boyfriend in Oct. to Hot Springs, AR for my birthday has anybody stayed at the Austin Hotel? I have stayed at the Arlington Hotel before I liked the historic charm but at the Arlington the rooms were very small and needed updating very bad. Very old and run down looking upstairs where the guest rooms were. I have never stayed at the Austin so I was wanting to know some reviews of people who have stayed there before. I am also thinking about getting the “Romance Two Day Spa Package” so any reviews on the spa at the Austin “Spa in the Park” would also be helpful. I want this trip to be perfect it’s not only my birthday weekend it’s also our first trip away together as a couple. I checked into staying at the Embassy Suites in Hot Springs, AR but it was just way too expensive and out of our budget. Thanks!

Which do you think is the more fun, budget-friendly BP:

A) A limo ride to the nearest big city for a night of club hopping and crashing in a hotel. Its sure to produce lots of memories of the good ole’ days when club hopping and dancing with strange men was okay, but not everyone in the group is a clubber.

B) Camping trip to Hot Springs, AR. Very few men around but lots of champaigne and chocolate. As long as a suitable cabin is reserved it’ll probably be okay with everyone but not terribly exciting.

PS – I’m planning my own BP because I really want to. Is it really that tacky? I’ll probably recruit a couple others to help.
