I was talking to an Atlanta cousin of mine who told me he was putting some friends up downtown at a great rate and it got me thinking, are there other deals out there, where after a big day of dining, football, and family, you could either take a night off (or send your guests away ). Here are a few full service properties that Insiders have written well about, that the AAA rate caught my eye (suburbs and other brands also had some value priced evenings); If you're a mega-bonus player for certificates, this gets you halfway to a Cat. 5;
Washington DC - Renaissance Dupont Circle $74, Marriott Metro $101, Mayflower $99 (prepaid) $110 otherwise
Baltimore Md. - Renaissance Harborplace $94
Philadelphia Pa. - Downtown Marriott $103
Minneapolis Mn. - Depot Renaissance $67 Hotel Minneapolis(Autograph) $81 (prepaid) $90 otherwise
St. Louis Mo. - Renaissance St. Louis Grand $80
New Orleans La. - Convention Center Marriott $74, two Rens $104, JW $116
Houston Tx. - Marriott West Loop $101
and the one that got me started
Atlanta Ga.
Glenn Hotel (Autograph) $71
Marriott Marquis $77 (my cousin booked thurs/fri for $65 per night)
so as we know, all of these are dynamic rates - you snooze, you lose - book 'em danno
Of course, New Yorkers take it on the chin due to the parade, but hey, the Giants have won four in a row.
If you find any others, please share
