For our 6 month anniversary, I decided I'd acquire a room at the Hilton and purchase their 'romance package' (king-size bed, champagne, rose petals, bathrobes, spa access, etc). The evening went well; my fiance adored the pool, dinner, the casino - however when we got back to our room late, we came in to discover a paper had been slid under the door.
My fiancee picked it up and had an instant freak-out; "$680.00!!!" she exclaimed. It was the bill for the room,. She wasn't supposed to know the price, it was supposed to be a present. For whatever reason, they slid the invoice under the door at some point while we were out, rather than just presenting it at check-out like hotels normally do, so I could pay it discreetly.
That pretty much ruined our stay. She was panicking about the cost for the rest of the evening, and it defeated the whole purpose of purchasing a relaxing getaway.
I don't know what the hell they were thinking.
