Rancho Bernardo Inn swimming pool
The recession is in full swing, and the travel industry is feeling it as well. The Rancho Bernardo Inn, in San Diego and ranked #1 by Conde Naste in 2008, is offering a special with rooms for $19 a day. Sounds too good to be true right? Here’s the catch.
For $19 a night, guests get a room with a tent, and that’s about it. All other room amenities have been removed, include bedding, toilet paper, air conditioning, lights, and the regularly included breakfast has been eliminated.
The cool thing about this special is that it actually starts at $219 a night, and the price lowers depending on what the guests are willing to give up. For example, guests can take the regular $219 rate and get it for $199 by giving up breakfast. That rate will go down to $179 without breakfast or the honor bar. Rate goes down to $159 without heat or air conditioning, and so on, until the rate hits a measly $19.
Another great thing about this package is that all resort amenities are still available for guests. A luxury spa and golf course are available on-site for an additional charge, and the resort has a pool available for guests along with multiple dining options. Nearby attractions include downtown San Diego, LegoLand, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, and Southern California’s beautiful beaches.
