Discover America has a batch of fixed price hotel offers from Gaylord Resorts, Loews Hotels and Resorts, and Omni Hotels available for purchase through June 30, 2010. Daily Getaways offered a variety of hotel loyalty points last month with great bargains on points purchases with SPG, Hyatt, Priority Club and other hotel points programs. Here is the link listing 16 hotel discount rate offers available through tomorrow, June 30 for stays later in 2010 or even 2011 for some hotels.

Gaylord Resorts

Gaylord Resorts are convention size hotels located in Orlando, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and Nashville. These hotels are fully-equipped environments with restaurants, pools, activity centers, and plenty of entertainment within the hotel resort. I stayed at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando last March for three nights and I was impressed with the array of services and activities including miniature golf course, two pool complexes, fitness center with yoga room, alligator park, and beautifully landscaped interior atrium gardens. The hotel had free shuttle service to the Disney parks.

There are two-night weekend stay packages offered at each Gaylord Resort location. Stays must be completed by November 13 for Orlando, Dallas, and D.C.

The Gaylord Opryland Hotel was devastated by the recent Nashville floods and is undergoing extensive renovation repairs for the next six months. The Gaylord Opryland two night package is valid for a hotel stay anytime in 2011.

Gaylord Texan – two nights $229 (Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night check-in)

Gaylord Palms, Orlando – two nights $259 (Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night check-in)

Gaylord National, Washington, D.C. – two nights $299 (Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night check-in)

Omni Hotels and Resorts

There are three tiers of two-night weekend hotel stays available for Omni Hotels through the Discover America site.

Omni Weekend Getaway for $175 – two nights through December 30. Participating Hotels.

Omni Weekend Escape for $250 – two nights through December 30 at these participating Omni Hotels.

Omni Luxury Weekend for $350 – two nights through December 30 at these participating Omni Hotels.

Any one of these Discover America deals will likely be a big savings on the regular room rates for these upper-upscale and luxury class hotels.

There are other package offers available through the DiscoverAmerica site, but these hotel deals look to be the best value opportunities.

Remember – these deals are scheduled to end after tomorrow on June 30.

Gaylord Palms, Orlando

Three weeks ago I suggested San Francisco Starwood Hotels had optimistically high hotel rates for the July 4 weekend. Rates today for this July 4 weekend have dropped to their lowest level for six of the seven San Francisco city hotels (Le Meridien had an incredible $109 rate last week).

AAA rates are at their lowest level of the past three weeks for all seven San Francisco Starwood Hotels just three days before the weekend.

Four of the seven Starwood hotels loaded their lowest rates of the month just today.

Last minute rate drops are the primary reason to avoid prepaid, nonrefundable room rates.

Update: July 1 – Rates dropped even more down to $129 today for the Westin St. Francis for tomorrow night. Westin Market Street dropped to $109. These are the lowest rates of the past month for these two hotels. Le Meridien dropped to $129 today for this weekend.

The opportunity to earn a SPG Free Weekend Night with every three stays goes through July 31, 2010, however, you must register by Wednesday, June 30. It is a good thing to check and be sure you are registered if you have not started this promotion and plan July travel.

SPG free nights are valid for redemption on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through December 19. The opportunity to redeem free nights at Category 6 hotels, normally 20,000 points per night, is the real value in this promotion. Many category 6 hotels run $400+ per night and the room rate savings makes three $100 stays to earn the free night a true luxury bargain. Four nights for less than the price of one.

I have friends taking an Alaska cruise out of Seattle in August. The prices of Starwood Hotels in Seattle are skyhigh. The Sheraton Seattle and Westin Seattle are priced like Manhattan hotels.

If three stays is too many, then you might want to check out Best Western’s “Two stays earns One free night” promotion from June 20 through August 15, 2010. There is a one free night limit unless you are elite and then you may earn two free nights during the promotion.  Free night vouchers expire December 25, 2010. Here is the Loyalty Traveler post on the Best Western offer.

Carlson Hotels comprised of the Radisson, Park Plaza, Park Inn, and Country Inn & Suites hotel brands and the goldpoints plus loyalty program also have a two stays earn one free night promotion through August 31. Free nights are limited to seven nights earned. Free nights may be used from September 1 through February 28, 2011.

Free night promotion earning period ends June 30 for Hyatt Gold Passport and Hilton HHonors members.
