I expect some fall in demand and prices moving down also for the most luxurious hotels. See http://www.sublimehotels.com/ for prices and discounts.

Pebble Beach is so far out of my economic status that I can't even consider a night at their resorts. I was disappointed that I had to catch a flight to Europe when a friend invited me to the 18th hole main suite of the Lodge back in 2005. I would have liked the photo opportunity. The Pebble Beach golf deal is a great deal compared to their prices earlier this year. An upgrade to an ocean view room would mean a guest would get about $800 in free golf play at Pebble and Spanish Bay for the same price as rooms only were selling last year. Pebble Beach helped me in college in the early 80s when I worked there part-time while attending UC Santa Cruz. Oh to remember those days of sleeping in my car in the UCSC parking lot after Chemistry Quantitative Analysis labs on Wednesday night and lectures on Thursday morning. One of the best seafood meals I ever had was when the chef of Club XIX refused all the scallops in the commissary and instead of throwing them out I cooked an incredible bisque for the family dinner. Tasted fine to us. I love Pebble Beach for its beauty and its suucessful display of corporate capitalism.
