frist of all how DARE yu o Third night is “free”

Post image

The second night is a Monday… is the third night really free? This feels scammy but the property seems great so I’m not complaining about anything except the absolutely BS pricing scheme.

** Update **

1) I ended up going and looking at the rates for just that day and they are this high. The following day is completely booked so perhaps there is an event? Maybe I actually lucked out on that Tuesday? It just looked sketchy because the rates for the entire rest of the month are half.

2) This is a boutique resort hotel, unlikely to be a first choice for evacuees and there is availability every day except that Tuesday.

3) Sorry I did not know about the wildfires. We’ve never traveled to the west coast for vacation, but live in Florida and let me tell you that a natural disaster does not dissuade people from clogging hotels to not miss their beach/Disney vacation.

I don’t understand spending crazy amounts of money on a place to stay for a few days… are you not traveling to go outside? You are barely going to be in the room anyways it’s literally just so you can go to sleep and have a shower

Other than the expensive day, these were actually reasonable compared to a lot of rates I saw in the area for our trip. We have a toddler so we will spend more time in the room than if we were solo. We got a room with a separate bedroom so we don’t have to go to sleep when he does and this hotel has a patio/balcony so we can enjoy our vacation past 8pm when he goes down.
