Loyalty Traveler Analysis

Assume the first night is $199 and then the temperature is 96, 89 and 91 for the next three days.

  • First night = $199
  • Second night = $95
  • Third night = $88
  • Fourth night = $90
  • Total rate for 4-night stay = $472.

This is how the deal should work out with the rate for the first night from $139 and up, depending on the hotel. The rates for additional nights are verified and adjusted at check-out. [The George was listed as $139 for first night.]

The problem I see with booking this deal online is the hotel booking rate page does not indicate any discount, except in the Rate Type: Beat the Heat Summer Sale link which shows these rate details:

I did not even find a cancellation policy on the booking pages for the offer before confirming the reservation with a credit card.

This is a deal that I would be more comfortable booking if the rate page at least showed $99 and mentioned an adjustment based on temperature. 

I would call the hotel to verify the rate offer when booking this deal.
