Is it worthwhile puchasing the Entertainment book to get a discount voucher to either Hojo, Fairfield Inn or Sheraton, if it even exists, for late October ? If not is my cheapest rate through AAA ? Thanks

Originally Posted By richfei Hi, I only see discounts for Hojo on this site through to September, but nothing for October, that's why I posted. Regarding reserving earlier, I guess not everyone has the opportunity to book their vacation months in advance. But good to know for future reference Any other thoughts ? I left an email with hojo and other places, but they haven't come back with a response
Originally Posted By velo AP disounts at HoJo's (if you have an AP) are running around $89 per night.

Ent. rates at HoJo's are currently being quoted at $88 per night, but could change.
Originally Posted By richfei Hi everyone, I just got off the phone with HoJo and they have a standard room available for $44.50 a night and a premium for $54.50. That rate was with the entertainment book. Since the rates were so low, I decided to just book with them and didn't look any further for Fairfield Inn, Sheraton etc. The rate was even cheaper than the quoted AAA rate of $84
Originally Posted By velo geez, just yesterday they told me $88! Was that the local number or the 800 number? Yes, Pete, I booked. Was hoping to convert Jenen's reservation to my name once Willie came back - she's got it at $50 I think. Richfei, please let me know what phone number you booked on!

Originally Posted By richfei I called the central number today and they quoted me a AAA rate of $84 for a std room and $103 for a premium. They said they didn't have any discounts for the entertainment book and AAA was the lowest rate I then called the local number soon afterwards and they quoted me the lower rate of $44 and $54 respectively for the entertainment book rate

Originally Posted By velo well see, it was the local number that quoted me $88 on Tuesday night. what are your dates, richfei?
Originally Posted By gloveal On line if you put LNR (laughing place) in the code field you will get the discount for laughing place, usually the same rate that AAA has. I booked through my companies travel company and got a travel agency rate which is 71 for HOJO no matter when you are going, which the website price for week we are going is 104 a night. Long story short if you we work for a big corporation as a perk they sometime offer employees a chance to get the same rate they get for your personal travel.

Can't quite decide whether to pay more and try for the AP rates at DLH. Yes we are extremely indecisive!
