Paragons of hospitality, hotels often stock emergency provisions for absent-minded guests so that they can quickly replace razors, toothbrushes, and children forgotten at rest stops. Unwind during a worry-free weekend with today's Groupon: for $129, you get a one-night stay in a queen room (up to a $225 value) at Atlantic House Hotel & Resort Residences in York Beach, Maine, plus a $20 gift card for food and drink at Blue Sky on York Beach.

Built in 1888, and recently renovated to its original stately grandeur, Atlantic House Hotel & Resort Residences blends contemporary conveniences with the bygone grace of its past life as a Victorian resort. Wayfarers pack away worries amid the inviting cream tones and splayed floral patterns of the Atlantic House's well-appointed guest rooms, which include cottage-style accents such as feathery queen beds; bright, gauzy windows; and live-rooster alarm clocks. The hotel's cheery chambers are augmented with modern amenities, such as the relaxing rush of jacuzzi tub and rainfall shower, which rinse away sneaky stressors before the season premiere of Mayors Gone Wild, presented in vivid candor on each room's 52-inch plasma-screen television. Situated steps from York's panoramic bluffs and bustling downtown, Atlantic House also offers ramblers access to the encyclopedic craniums of its 24-hour concierge service.

Comestible-seekers can hunt up hiding hors d'oeuvres with a $20 gift card to Blue Sky on York Beach (Groupon holders with reservations on a Sunday–Thursday night will also receive a second $20 gift card). Stretching out across Atlantic House's second floor, the spacious dining room and fully stocked bar swaddle gourmands in a menu of gustatory fireworks, with seaside bites of lobster mac ‘n’ cheese ($15) or oysters Rockefeller ($14) pairing well with romantic sighs, spirited conversation, or seaweed-twirling cheers from the beach's underwater drill team.
