Hotel rate sales happen all the time. The issue for the consumer cheap hotels in atlantic city is whether cheap hotels in atlantic city the promotional rate available today is truly a low rate for the hotel. My experience analyzing hotel rate promotions shows that promotional rates are often the lowest available rate for a specific hotel on that day, but often not the lowest rate that was available cheap hotels in atlantic city during the two weeks prior to the sale promotion.
Are 25% off rates available today with Starwood Hotels less than the published rates from two weeks ago? The promotional sale rate today might be the lowest rate shown today, but you probably do not know what published rates were last week for the same hotel stay and dates.
The basic problem with hotel rate promotional discounts is the consumer probably does not know the trending average rates for a specific hotel, unless you have been following hotel rates for a specific destination.

I have been tracking San Francisco Bay area Starwood Hotel rates for the past month. This allows me to compare the Starwood CyberMonday sale rates available for stays as of today to published cheap hotels in atlantic city hotel rates over the past few weeks.
Hotel rates often drop to near low rates of the year in San Francisco during Thanksgiving cheap hotels in atlantic city and Christmas weeks. I need a few cheap hotel nights to qualify for SPG Platinum elite in 2013 with 25 hotel stays in 2012.
The rates at St. Regis were $82 per night less for the past month with the AAA rate compared to the current CyberMonday rate. The AAA rate increased $90 per night after the CyberMonday sale launched.
Le Meridien San Francisco dropped from $220 last month to $159 last week to $149 with CyberMonday sale. The odd thing though is this hotel was available much of the past month as a Best Rate Guarantee hotel for $149 or $159 during Thanksgiving week and the 10% rate discount would have made this hotel lower priced than the Starwood CyberMonday sale.
i was searching for a hotel room for NYE in vancouver bc. i had been looking at the sheraton wall center, which before the CM sale was announce was running at $174. with the sale this dropped to $119 yesterday, which i promptly booked.
