One night in hotel

[PollyPofter]

AIBU going to a local hotel 3/5 miles away for a
Break on my own, I don’t have any children. Just for sleep, and pamper

If you can afford it and you want to, you don't need the permission of the internet to do this.

What's it like at home that makes you need it?
Prior to having kids every night was an opportunity to pamper....

YANBU! Sounds heaven! Enjoy x

Sounds like a fantastic idea. Crack on.

Why though if you are alone anyway?

We love doing this, and do it regularly. We have massages, enjoy the spa, have a lovely meal, breakfast the next morning and then spend the day together. It's lovely.

I’ve always travelled a lot on my own, I’m very happy with my own company and I need time alone...but there’s something a bit, I don’t know, odd/sad/worrying that only 3/4 miles down the road, which isn’t ‘somewhere new to enjoy’ will make you happy. It feels like your home isn’t a good place for you...

You're not being unreasonable. Go for it!

I have a 4 year old and a night alone in a hotel sounds like bliss!
Even if you don’t have kids. It’s an opportunity to just relax, sometimes at home there’s always ‘jobs’ to do. Order room service, relax and see what’s in the mini bar!

Sounds amazing, enjoy!!

Why though?

There is something very relaxing about time in a nice hotel. At home there is always something that I should be getting on with, in a hotel I can read a book, watch tv and have a drink with no nagging guilt. Lovely. Go for it.

Hotels have air-con, someone who cleans stuff for you, and people who will bring what you want to your room. It's all good.

Why are you unable to sleep at home?

If you want a pamper session could you go somewhere new rather than up the road?

Go for it. I assume it’s a particular hotel which you want to stay in - it just happens to be local.

I always go a bit further afield in case I know people who are in the hotel - wedding season and all. Then swim, read and enjoy room service. A glass of wine in a hotel is always nicer😊

I do this occasionally. I think as mentioned above it's that you don't feel you ought to be doing things and there aren't other distracting things going on so you can concentrate on chilling out with a book.

Not sure why people are asking why. I love a hotel stay, a change is as good as a rest.

Go for it OP! Make sure they do a lovely breakfast and maybe even an afternoon tea. A hotel with a pool would be even better.

If you can afford it, why the hell not!

God, I would! We went shopping today in a town local to us. Walking from the car park to the shops we passed a new hotel I hadn't seen before, very modern and appealing. I've been fantasising all day about staying there! Alas family commitments and finances mean I'd never do it, but it's a lovely thought ...

Sounds lovely. Even if you're on your own at home you still feel a bit edgy if you're not 'doing something'. If you sit down with a book you start noticing that the floor could do with a hoover etc.

In a hotel you can just relax and not worry, the pool is a short walk away, dinner and breakfast are served up to you. Lovely.
