Sometimes a couple needs a night or weekend away and there are some great hotels in our area that will do just the trick.

Who says that you've got to book a flight and travel somewhere way out of the way in order to have a relaxing vacation. Sometimes what the doctor ordered is a "staycation." Not too far from home, all the familiar surroundings, but you don't have to clean up. It sounds perfect to me.

For many couples around the Capital Region a night away can make a world of difference. Escape the day to day, and get reconnected. With Valentine's Day around the corner it might not be a ad idea to start looking for a nice place for some private time. A hotel right here in the Capital Region might provide exactly what you're looking for.

From their website: The Morgan State House is located on beautiful Washington Park, lovely in every season, it is the gateway to the City of Albany’s businesses, New York State Capital buildings, medical centers, universities, museums and entertainment venues.

For me this gives you all the charm of a bed and breakfast with the elegance of a high end luxury hotel. You and your special someone would love a night or weekend here.

If we head to Schenectady we can stay in one of the most historical places in Upstate New York, the Stockade.
