Motels do not raise their rates on Valentine’s Day but most of them shorten the length of the so-called “short time” stay. This according to an Ear informer who says he and his wife spend a few hours in a motel on Valentine’s night. “Not for immoral reason,” he says, “but for old times sake.”
OTHERS TOO. Our informer says he knows of other married couples who also spend Valentines evenings in some motels not for any other reasons than to “renew old romantic ties.” He says his boss and his wife (they’re now in their mid-50s) spend Valentine evening in an expensive hotel.
