best spots for stargazing without roughing it

Last night, I spent way too long scrolling through photos of the Milky Way, and it got me dreaming about a solo getaway just to watch the stars. Here’s the thing: I’m not about to pitch a tent or sleep in a camper—I want a real bed, a hot shower, and maybe even a little room service. But every time I look up places for stargazing, it’s all about remote campsites or mountain cabins miles from civilization. I tried searching for hotels by the beach, hoping for that perfect combo of ocean breeze and dark skies, but most of them are either too close to busy boardwalks (hello, neon lights) or so far out that I worry about being totally isolated. Has anyone actually found a hotel or inn in the US where you can step outside and see the stars, but still feel safe and comfortable? I’d love to hear about places where you didn’t have to compromise between comfort and a good view of the night sky. It’s frustrating how hard it is to find that sweet spot—surely I’m not the only one who wants a little adventure without giving up my creature comforts! #stargazing #travel #midlifeadventures
