Secrets to picking Romantic lodging:

Pick a room with a king-sized bed!

The size of your mattress matters. Because you need some room to toss around and have fun, go ahead and choose King size. 

Quality matters!

Feel luxurious by staying at a place with a quality mattress and quality sheets. It’s as simple as viewing some hotel pictures and reviews when you look for your room. Any hotel you find, you search it and find traveler photos, which are usually of the bed and room.

Also, why not get a room with a Jacuzzi tub? It’s YOUR time to get pampered. Unwinding and relaxing in a huge tub is romantic, fun and just what you need after a long day of excitement! If you’re traveling with kids, put them to bed, lock the bathroom and enjoy some time to yourself.

Separate Space

Don’t get two double beds if you’re traveling with children! Rather, opt for a separate bedroom. To save money, the kids can sleep on a pull-out sofa, it’s probably going to be more exciting for them than sleeping on a bed. Even if you’re camping, make sure you have privacy by being far enough away from other people and having separate tents from kids.

Privacy

The key word for romance is privacy. Worrying about your kids will prevent you from being and feeling romantic. If you’re traveling with a baby, make sure the room has a separate area where you can wheel their pack’n’play so that you can have privacy and not worry about being seen. For women, an important part of “being in the mood” is not worrying about your children seeing you being intimate, even a baby.

Fitness

Think about relieving stress. If you like to work out or swim, make sure a fitness center or pool is available at the hotel. There’s nothing like a work out to relieve stress. Being physically active has physical as well as psychological benefits! 

Couples Massage

Most hotels have massage parlors available and offer couple massage packages. Having a massage will make you feel like a new person, literally. It also adds to your spicy memories you can look back on in the future.

Keep Kids Busy

If you have kids, make sure to have activities for them. Babysitting, arcade rooms, theater and hotel activities are all options to keep kids happy and busy. If you have small kids, you can easily stir up the romance after you’ve put them to sleep! If you’re on a tight budget, you can find some great lodging options and tips here.
