Get out of the doghouse fast

You missed Valentine’s Day. Or, your gift (or other effort) just plain sucked. So, you’re in trouble, and you need a quick solution. Of course, you can’t spend a lot of cash on this endeavor. You need a cheap, good idea that will make your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend or anyone else forget that you failed at romance.

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts thought of this already. Check out the company’s “Doghouse Packages” to see how you can make your difficult situation easier.

The Fairmont Newport Beach in California is offering two nights, free valet parking and a stuffed animal upon arrival. You’ll only have to drop $179 a night for two nights (Fridays and Saturdays). Amp it up with The Great Dane package, for those who really screwed up, which adds a $25 dining credit, two bathrobes, and wine and cheese.

On the other coast, the Fairmont Washington (DC) has a “Mea Culpa” package. At $259 a night, it’s a bit pricey, but you might need to go that route. In addition to a room, the hotel kicks in breakfast and a special “I’m Sorry” amenity. You know the apology will work, because it’s created by the executive pastry chef!

Need more ideas? Don’t worry, Fairmont’s got ’em.
