Great Hotel Deals

The Pyramid Hotel group is showing some AWESOME support for military and their families this whole year. They are offering 50% off hotel room rates at participating hotels. For our anniversary, we visited the Beverly Heritage Hotel in Milpitas (about 10 minutes drive from San Jose). The hotel was amazing and it was $44 per night. Looking for the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving in San Francisco, the Hilton Hotel IN Fisherman's Wharf is $84.00 per night. Most San Francisco hotels are $200 plus per night. The Marine Corps Hotel offers great rates in the heart of the city as well,but I find they are always booked.

The Pyramid group is offering this at 36 participating hotels nationwide, so as you search for holiday lay-over or romantic get-a-way nights, visit the list of participating hotels by clicking here. You will get a much nicer hotel for the same price as a budget motel. It is really a great deal!
