Best Birthday Rate!
07.05.10
Here’s a screaming deal that you need to know about. The Tides in Laguna Beach, a great spot and a fantastic value for families, couples, and business travelers is offering a birthday treat through June 2011! The last two digits of your birth year is your rate on your birthday. A two-night minimum stay is required; standard rates apply on additional room nights. Here’s how it works: if you were born in 1969, your rate will be $69 on your birthday night. My favorite is the guest who got a room night for $12 on her 98th birthday from her daughter (pictured above).
The special is for one night only, and you must stay on your actual birthday. Guests must be at least 18 and show ID. Offer expires on June 30, 2011.
Here’s the scoop on The Tides: It’s a completely refurbished 21-room hotel with a comfortable, homey setting in picturesque Laguna Beach. Amenities include a large outdoor patio with a heated saltwater pool, wood-burning fireplace and gas grill, plus free use of beach items such as chairs, towels, and boogie boards. Dogs are welcome for $25 per night, which includes a cozy pet blanket and chewy treat. Ten of the rooms at The Tides have well-furnished kitchenettes. All rooms are non-smoking.
