People often do things in hotels that they would never do in their own homes, such as sleep soundly, watch Marley and Me, or let the kids drink as much shampoo as they want. Let loose with today's Groupon: for $74, you get a one-night stay in a business queen room (up to a $139 value) with parking (an $18 value), plus a $30 massage credit at Q Hotel + Spa in Kansas City (up to a $157 total value).

A day-trip destination, Q Hotel + Spa is located near shops, restaurants, and museums in trendy Country Club Plaza, and is one of Kansas City's first green hotels. Weary travelers squeal when they set eyes on the stylish, welcoming lobby and in-room Aveda products. Put your massage credit to good use when trying the one-hour Swedish massage ($70) or relax a little longer with the 90-minute version ($105). Groupon holders also receive a buy one entree, get one entree free coupon to Westport Flea Market Bar & Grill, located two blocks from the hotel. For an additional $15 fee ($20 per couple), guests can open themselves up to a hybrid shuttle vehicle, hot breakfast in the morning, WiFi connection, evening drinks for the manager's reception, and day passes to nearby Gold's Gym.
