I am pleased to report that our stay at The Broadmoor (as in the hotel, not the high-security psychiatric hospital) was every bit as delightful as one might have expected. The resort is a true gem, and quite unlike anything I have experienced. It’s true that even when taking advantage of one of their special deals, it is still pricey – but worth every penny. I don’t know about you, but I will happily trade long plane journeys to exotic locations for a vacation closer to home if it leaves room in the budget for some of life’s little luxuries.
