After navigating floating platform staircases, dodging living-room-level bosses, and searching for randomly appearing bathroom keys, most homeowners come to regret purchasing houses built by video-game designers. Today's Groupon offers respite from the chaos: for $69, you get a one-night stay in a double or king room at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront (up to a $169 value). As an added bonus, any consecutive nights added to your stay can be purchased for a discounted rate of $79. This deal is not valid on the following blackout dates: August 28, November 19, and November 20.

Located in St. Petersburg's lively Waterfront District, the Hilton St. Petersburg boasts 333 well-designed guestrooms and suites, in addition to a refreshing pool, relaxing spa, fitness room, and innumerable high-fives from bellhops. An overnight at Hilton St. Petersburg promises to immerse visitors in the relaxed lap of luxury for one sweet evening away, or serve as a pit stop on a watery road trip to Barbados. Choose a room with two double beds or one king bed. Each room is equipped with a work desk for multitaskers who enjoy watching cable television and ironing clothes while waiting for the coffeemaker to heat up.

Hotel habitants can also explore the surrounding area, swarming with easily accessible attractions such as the Salvador Dali Museum and Tropicana Field (home of the Tampa Bay Rays), as well as local beaches, restaurants, art galleries, and golf courses. If hunger pains call for urgent and awesome care, check out the hotel restaurant, Tangerine, a modern eatery that fuses local flavors for a refreshing cuisine experience, open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
