"Weekend" varies a bit by locale, and if resort or not. I vaguely recall hearing resorts tend to follow everyday-is-weekend. Also, some properties will extend a "weekend" to incl. holidays (i.e. 3 or 4-days long), which may vary by local custom. I once saw a biz Hyatt charging normal weekday rate on Thanksgiving (Thurs.) while down the road, another had a low wknd rate going.

On multi-night stays, esp. if they inc. wknds, I check each separate night on the website, too. I've sometimes caught the site quoting the higher 1st night rate for the entire stay, but checking each night separately revealed a mid-stay rate drop. Also, some pkgs only show if you enter the exact req. nights, so you may miss a deal if you just trust the site to give you the lowest quote on a multi-night. Takes work to try all the combos.

Great rate Trustguy! ^ What was the code, pkg, or rate group you used? I've got a possible stay this wknd, but best I found was $92.65 AAA, w/o parking.

Thanks for the tip. Hope I can find a spot.
