I really want to take my girlfriend to Big Sur for an upcoming weekend this summer, and would like to book the Cliff house at the Post Ranch Inn. The going rate is $2,285.00 per night... double my budget, but I don't want to compromise and stay in any other type of accommodation! I'm just wondering if there's any promotions or deals to be had with this property, or perhaps more affordable ways of booking rather than through the hotel direct? I've wanted to stay here for several years now, and once we're doing it, I really want to do it right. It's just a bit out of my range right now which is really disappointing, as I'll be moving to San Francisco this summer to be closer to my girlfriend, and was hoping to surprise her with a long weekend in Big Sur shortly after flying in.
