I Paid for a Hotel Room and More Freebies

November 30, 2009 - Rick

I actually paid for two hotel rooms this week. The Hyatt Regency in DC and now the Savannah Four Points at the Savannah Airport. Both purchases made logistical sense or I wouldn’t have done it. I hate paying for hotels.

$78 for the Hyatt worked out great as we got a night towards the FFN promo and the Four Points stay will actually save me money. It costs $8 per day for economy parking a t SAV airport and the Four Points lets us park for free. 11 nights at 8 bucks is about the same as the cost of the room, we pick up a few points and get an extra hours sleep on the 1st, our big travel day to Hawaii.

I really wanted to use a Marriott property as it would give me 46 nights towards Gold and with the 4 nights in Hawaii maybe posting I could hit the magic 50 mark to renew my status. A friend of a friend and blog reader knows somebody at the Kauai Marriott and is trying to secure us an upgrade and hopefully a posting of our stay, although it is Priceline. Thank you Sally, if you are successful. If it posts as a four night stay, I promise I’ll sneak in another Marriott stay before the year is over.

Unfortunately the Marriott’s shuttle does not operate until 6 AM and our flight is at 6:49. The Four Points shuttle starts at 4:30 AM.

Too bad Savannah Airport Marriott properties. You should accomodate your airport’s early flights.
