A Trip to Paris!

Last weekend Cameron and I were very spontaneous when we decided on Friday to book a room at a hotel in Idaho Falls for Saturday night to Sunday. We had been completely stressed out and that week was particularly insane, so if we wanted any chance of making it to the end of the semester, we needed to get away. We heard about this awesome place called Destinations Inn, where each room is themed as a different place around the world. All the rooms looked nice online, but we were afraid it wouldn't be quite as nice when we saw them in person, and we were so wrong. We absolutely loved our stay there and would recommend it to anyone trying to relax. We stayed in the Paris room which we loved, but we also got to see several of the other rooms that were available.



This is Cameron standing on the draw-bridge in the entryway of the England room. Very cool.


This was pretty cool. We couldn't figure out where the bathroom was in this room(England), but then we found this awesome secret door behind the bookshelf that leads to the bathroom. Very sneaky.


Here's Cameron sitting on the edge of the tub in the Athens room. This room was a close second when choosing which room we wanted to stay in(except now that we have seen all the rooms we want to stay a night in all of them).


Me with my new friend in the Hawaii room. This one was really fun too. Tons of details and little things that made you feel like you were there. Even the floor was made to look like sand.


This room came with a massage table, pretty cool. And Cameron loved all the little water features it had.


This picture is pretty dark, but it is of a big reader board thing in the New York room. There is a mock-up of time square and they will make a personalized light up billboard with your name on it. The song New York, New York was playing over the speakers as we came in.


The rest of these pictures are of the Paris room we stayed in. It was absolutely perfect!


This is the view from our bed. It was up a few stairs on a raised balcony type thing. So this is overlooking the rest of the room. The rooms were huge.


I think this was one of our favorite parts of the room. Each room had this huge projector tv that you just pressed a button and it lowered down from the ceiling. They had a bunch of DVD's for you there, so we watched a movie and some of the Gonzaga basketball game.


This is the "Eiffel Tower Shower" in our room. It is this huge sculpture thing of the Eiffel Tower, but then it has a huge shower head at the top so you can actually use it.


I loved this hotel for all its little extra perks that we kept finding throughout the night. This was great. When we got to the room, they had a chilled bottle of sparkling cider and two pieces of cheesecake waiting for us. It was delicious!


I loved this part too(ok, so we loved all of it). This was our own personal Paris cafe in the corner of the room. We ate our Olive Garden dinner with sparkling cider in the wine glasses they provided for us right here.


Another great perk was the breakfast. At check-in you just tell them what time you want your breakfast and they will bring it to your door at the requested time. They just leave everything on the tray right outside your door so you never even have to see anyone in the morning, awesome. Here was our breakfast platter:


We had a great time here and it was exactly what we needed to re-energize ourselves for the last couple weeks of school.
