Monterey: Full moon hotel deal gives us something to howl about

Here’s another one for the “Summer of ‘69” anniversary files. The newly opened Hotel Abrego in Monterey commemorates the 40th anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s historical moonwalk with a unique package –only available on the remaining full moon nights in 2009.

Deal: At the 93-room hotel that opened this month, the family-friendly “Moon Over Monterey” offer includes the following components: a room for two nights, a turn-down treat of MoonPies; and a copy of the recently published children’s book “Mission Control, This Is Apollo: The Story of the First Voyages to the Moon” by Andrew Chaikin.

The two-night package will cost you $111 per night (pretax). Use promo code “MOON.”

When: This package is on sale beginning July 20, which was the date, 40 years ago, of the unprecedented landing, and the sale will end Aug. 6.

You can book your two-night stay for one of the following full-moon-inclusive periods only: Aug. 6-7, Sept. 4-5, Oct. 4-5, Nov. 2-3 and Dec. 2-3. Note that December has an extra moon, a “blue moon.” Only the first full moon of the month is included in this promo.
