This one was submitted today by reader Amy. Thanks for the great find, Amy. I've stayed here many times before (this past May) and found it to be one of the best hotels I've yet experienced in the WR chain. Spacious rooms, free breakfast in oceanview restaurant, decent pool, and within 50 feet of the Atlantic ocean and the Hollywood Broadwalk.

best hotels, San Diego, CA- Days Inn Mission Bay

best hotels, San Diego, CA- Days Inn Mission Bay


Travelocity is having a "Hotel Sale" on this property.

In this case, Travelocity's "non-refundable" rates are lower than WR's, and their "Best Available" rates are also lower than WR's. That makes this any easy claim!

Of course, you book the "Best Available." (Comparisons of these rates are shown below) Disregard the non-refundables altogether.

best hotels, N Miami Beach, FL- Ramada Plaza Marco Polo Beach Resort


Here's an excellent find by a contributor who wishes to remain "anonymous"....he informs me that he booked this Ramada for himself and a friend and was approved both times by KM and BT!

This BRG is good for this hotel's "Best" room type: an "OceanFront- 2 Queens" room. The WR website includes the mention of a "balcony" and the competitor (Hotelsatanywhere.com) does not. But this made no difference. The key word here on HAA which matches WR is "OceanFront." which made this claim a success!

This one was posted this past week by FreeRoomGuy (David). He mentioned that it might die out due to it being part of a special sale, but I can confirm that this still works as of this morning. I'm bumping it up in case anyone wanted it but didn't know if it was still available.

Inn, Anchorage, Alaska - Days Inn Downtown

Inn, Anchorage, Alaska - Days Inn Downtown


I found this very rare opportunity early today. Looks like a great opportunity with free airport shuttle, and the hotel is centrally located in downtown Anchorage. Not bad for free! You may have problems if you book the refundable rate type, as they do offer a lower non-refundable one. However, Orbitz' non-refundable is still cheaper than DaysInn.com's. So, point this out when claiming for the refundable room type and hope for the best. It's clearly cheaper on Orbitz, no matter which way you slice it.

It looks like there is plenty of availability, but I'd get your claims in ASAP, as WR seems to be adjusting rates as fast as we're able to put these out. This hotel is right near the Madison airport, only an hour from Milwaukee and a mere 2 hours from Downtown Chicago. If you haven't been to Madison, you're missing out - it is one of the nicest cities in the United States, hands down. It has surprisingly good nightlife being a college town, and the lakes surrounding it are simply beautiful.

which we've posted many times on this blog. It seems to never die. The management of this hotel must really not mind losing money to free stays, it would seem. Be warned - I've heard this one's a dive, in a neighborhood that could strive to be a bit more glamorous.

This one slipped past the radar here at the BRG blog, because we neglected to check Expedia.ca as well as Expedia.com. The Canadian counterpart has this one listed as a 24 hour sale opportunity, and its ripe for the picking for your next trip to Toronto. This is a very upscale Wyndham property, so quality is not likely to be much of an issue. Easily visible by searching Kayak. Thanks to "Fish" for contributing this find.

Thanks to Fish for bringing this great Canadian BRG to our attention. That's two Toronto area BRGs in one day - it's the perfect time to check out Toronto if you haven't already. This one is easily visible by searching Kayak for "Guelph" hotels. It's located around halfway between Kitchener and Mississauga (out in the sticks, not very convenient to Downtown Toronto at all - but hey, for free, it might be worth the drive out). It would be perfect for anyone travelling between Detroit/Chicago and Toronto - it's just far enough out of town to have as a rest stop to cut up the drive.
