Addison, TX Oktoberfest Rates Sept 15-18
 
http://www.addisontexas.net/Events/O...l_specials.asp

$49 HI
$50 HIX
$54 Courtyard

Price includes 2 tickets to Ocktoberfest ($20 value), $10 in food vouchers, and a $7 Souvenir mug filled with beer. You get the tickets and vouchers when you check in at the hotel.

Strictly speaking, not a mattress run rate, but a great deal if you like German food, beer, and polka bands. I guess if you were really trying to maximize your dollar, you could scalp the goodies at the gate for $20 or so. :D

I went thru the link to HIX, it comes up $61.
Is there a code or something to get it to $50 ??

I'm not sure about the HIX...

Hampton had a code (OKT) that you could book to get the promo rate, but I had to call the front desk to get the code.

HGI was not bookable online, had to be booked through the front desk.

In this case, as far as I can tell, you are expected to call the hotel; this is a completely legit deal open to everyone.

Okie Dokie, I saw nothing about calling the hotel, but a link.
Which begs the next question, will you get stay credit ?? :D

For Hilton, calling the hotel itself is one of the few ways you can get stay credit; the other is booking through a Hilton website or using a "real" travel agent who charges fees. :rolleyes:

The rates in Addison are usually rock bottom on Saturdays, so I would guess the 30% rule would still qualify this for Priority Club. There is a $61 rate for the HIX on Saturday the 17th with no special deals.

I think the Addison website leaves a lot to be desired, the links seem to take you to the hotel's main landing page, without embedding the link info. I thought it was just normal crappy Hilton website behavior...

But we always have fun at Oktoberfest, and we needed a couple of extra stays to hit Diamond. So... YMMV. ;)

I haven't explored further, do you know
where the other discounts come from, the hotel, the front gate... ??

I do appreciate the link, because I had not heard of this Oktoberfest !!
Here in AUS we instinctively look south... :D

When we have done this in previous years, this is how it worked: When you check into the hotel, they give you a packet that has two admission tickets, 10 $1 food coupons (none of the food and drink vendors take cash, you have to buy coupons at the entrance gate) and a voucher redeemable at any beer stand for a souvenir mug full of beer. The mug gives you discount refills on beer after you finish the first one.

I have some coupons available good for free admission on Sunday; and for carnival rides on Thursday. If you can use them, send me a PM with your email address and which one you want.

HGI will be a good deal with MVP discount. $47+taxes ~$54
