How do you make a dollar go a long way in a struggling economy if you are a hotel? How about offering a package that includes a stay with nothing but the bed? Yes, you heard me right. Gather your sleeping bag and camping supplies, it's time to check in to the Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort & Spa.
At this San Diego inn, which just went through a $25 million dollar renovation, guests could opt for the special package, the Survivor Package, offering a truly "tentalizing" experience. Never slept in a tent? You have before but want to try it indoors? For just $19 a night, the inn will remove the mattress, frame, headboard, and pretty much everything else so that you could sleep in one of the 287 guestrooms in a tent as shown below.
And as guests give up certain amenities, the price drops.
