Get a laugh and a deal this holiday season with a special penny-pincher's package at the Omni San Diego Hotel.

The deal: The Christmas special, available through Jan. 2, is called the "Grinch's Steal of a Deal" package, the name borrowed from Dr. Seuss' book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." For $149, travelers receive overnight accommodations for two, a copy of the "Grinch" book, gingerbread cookies and tips on festive things to do while visiting San Diego.

The hotel: The Omni San Diego Hotel is in the historic Gaslamp District of San Diego and is attached by a skybridge to the San Diego Padres' Petco Park. The hotel is home to a McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant. Holiday visitors can add Christmas spirit to their lodgings by calling a week in advance to order a decorated Christmas tree in their guest room ($175).

Where is it? 675 L St., San Diego, CA 92101.

Reservations: The package is subject to availability; some dates may already be sold out. For reservations, call (800) 843-6664. (The package is not available on the hotel website.)

Where am I?

This is a city known for great old architecture. And it's a desert spot and has a long-standing tradition of hospitality.
