Booking a getaway for you and your lover to celebrate a special anniversary? Getting away with your gal pals for your 40^th birthday? Email the General Manager when you book your room or let the front desk know when you check in. They may offer a free upgrade or perk to make your stay more memorable. Hint: if you get lucky with a free perk, let the hotel know how grateful you are by sharing on Facebook or Pinterest. You never know, they might do it again the next time you visit!
