Deal: Vote for $69 hotel rooms in California, Oregon

A small hotel chain in California and Oregon is giving guests an extra incentive to do their civic duty: rooms as cheap as $69 for those who show their “I Voted” stickers from the Nov. 4 election.

The deal: Offered by Moonstone Hotel Properties in Cambria, California, “I Voted” rates are available at eight inns. In California, they are the Cambria Pines Lodge, Sea Otter Inn and Pelican Cove Inn in Cambria; Monterey Hotel in Monterey; Carmel River Inn in Carmel; Deer Haven Inn in Pacific Grove; and Apple Tree Inn near Yosemite National Park. In Oregon, it’s at the Village Green Resort in Cottage Grove.

The details: The rate, which does not include taxes, starts at $69 per night for a standard room at all the inns except the Pelican Cove, where it starts at $119; larger rooms and suites cost more. It’s good Sundays through Thursdays from Nov. 4 through Jan. 31, 2009, except Nov. 26-29, Dec. 24-31 and Jan. 1. It’s also subject to availability. You must ask for the “I Voted” rate when you reserve the room and bring your “I Voted” sticker when you check in.

Is it a deal? It seems to be. When I called last week and asked for the lowest room rates for Nov. 10, without asking for the “I Voted” deal, Moonstone’s reservations agent quoted $127 for the Sea Otter Inn and $189 for the Pelican Cove Inn in Cambria.

More info: Call (800) 966-6490 or visit Moonstone’s microsite for this deal.
