I dont know your area at all but have this suggestion.
A few years back we went out for our anniversary dinner. I had it all planned ahead of time without him knowing so when he asked where Id like to go, I already knew where. It was a lovely dinner, and we sipped wine, and talked and just enjoyed the whole time. When we were done, and ready to leave, I said, "oh by the way, I have a little gift for you" and handed him a small box with a bow. He opened it, and found a key to a room in the hotel upstairs. I had gone that morning and made a reservation and had already taken a small suitcase up to the room. I had a change of clothes and wine waiting for us. It was really neat seeing the look on his face and believe me, he was thrilled! So, if you dont want to spend a lot on a fancy hotel, you dont have to. This was your average run of the mill moderate priced hotel. It got the job done,,,,if you get my drift. (o:
