Instead of staying with the relatives over Christmas Day travelers who have already snagged cheap airplane tickets should consider the deals being offered for discount hotel rooms on Christmas Day. Given that Christmas Day is not a typical peak travel day, and hotel bookings are running 16 percent below what they were a year ago for that day, great hotel deals are there for the picking.
The following are some examples of the deals being offered for guests staying over Christmas Day:
The Trump International Beach Resort in Sunny Isles Beach, which is about a 30 minute drive from Miami Beach, is offering a free night stay on Christmas Day if you reserve at least five nights.
80 percent of Red Roof hotels (out of a total of 345 locations) are offering a 30 percent discount on Christmas Day for bookings made 10 days in advance. 40 percent of these hotels are also offering 20 percent off the days before and after Christmas.
The Kilington Grand Resort and Spa, an upscale ski lodging in Vermont, is promoting a Ski and Stay Free Christmas deal for guests arriving between December 19th and the 25th for a minimum of four nights. Their deal includes free lodging and lift ticket on Christmas Day.
The Country Inn and Suites in Annapolis is discounting its regular rate by 30 percent for guests staying on Christmas Day.
