Responses:

if a chain owns the hotels you want, call one of them and ask for a flat rate per night for the trip, applicable at the individual hotels -- nm - peglegpete Jul 29, 18:14
Indeed. I'm looking at an average of $119/night for 6 nights... - MojaveMeg Jul 29, 17:23 11
- I am looking for a good hotel for Oahu in February -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 17:41 5
  - I don't know how this restaurant has held up over the years but it used to be one of the best in Honolulu -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jul 29, 18:06 3
    - Here you go Meg. No windows, opens to the beach. -- (link) - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 18:09
    - Oh wow. Just clicked the link. I have been there. It was great -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 18:08
    - I loved going to the Shorebird when I was there. I will check The Willows out too -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 18:07
  - When/if I next do that I'm planning on using frequent flyer miles. Looks like I could get flight and 5 nights hotel for around $700 and 60K miles. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 29, 18:01
- If only Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun had deals like Vegas. - CovingtonCat Jul 29, 17:32 4
  - When I drove across country I took 5 days and nights. For 3 of the nights I stayed at a Super 8. - Trish (Hail to the V!) Jul 29, 18:17 2
    - I am a Super 8 fan. We are going to check out the one in Tahoe in 2 weeks. Always clean. - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 18:19 1
      - Agree on Super 8. They're one of my first choices if I'm just looking for something to pull over for the night. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 29, 18:36
  - Ouch. I think the tribal casinos around here start around $150 depending on season. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 29, 17:36
Have you tried Priceline.com? - Trish (Hail to the V!) Jul 29, 17:22 3
- I used Priceline as a starting point to gauge prices. - CovingtonCat Jul 29, 17:30 2
  - Damn Skippy, you'll be worn out with researching before you ever leave, - Trish (Hail to the V!) Jul 29, 17:46 1
    - Oh, I'm done. I've got 2 weeks to recover before I go. :) -- nm - CovingtonCat Jul 29, 18:06
