I was looking up hotels in Mexico City around the end of the year. With a prepaid rate, you can get two nights for the price of one on Expedia.com for the Four Seasons in Mexico City. Total price for the two nights is $240 USD plus tax, so about $280 USD total. (In this case, I looked at Dec. 25-27.) Perhaps there are even better deals available through agents, but I was quite surprised to see such a low rate through a consolidator. I believe this rate, while prepaid, is still cancellable up until 2 days before, but double-check.

re FS mexico city
thurs > sun after 2nd nt free
$120 superior room
$132 DLX room
$147 premier room
$165 premier terrace room
$170 exec suite burdeos view
$205 exec suite reforma view
$245 exec suite courtyard view
considering its mexico, surprising its not on every category, like 3rd nt free at punta mita, or 2nd nt free at mumbai and westlake. maybe business travel has helped keep occupancy a little more stable.
superior does not guarantee courtyard view. premier and premier terrace have french doors overlooking courtyard.

I had a look at the burdeos and reforma view rooms when I was there but decided to move to a superior room - I preferred the quiet view over the chaos that is Mexico City and didn't find the use of space in the 'suites' at all useful. I preferred the more 'cosy' superior rooms (!). YMMV

Twin Farms "Fall Bonus Program"
Twin Farms has just added "Fall Bonus Program". The third night free was scheduled to end September 12th but continues this fall.Stay two nights and the third night is complimentary. This is a great deal! There is no place better to see the fall colors then from the copper bath tub of the Perch Cottage or any other room at this wonderful resort.

Wow, this thread is one year old and the deals are still going on. One year ago, who knew that the crisis would be so prolonged and the travel industry would be hurting so badly for such a long duration.
Special thanks to Kagehitokiri for finding and posting gems.

I think it will continue like this for perhaps another 2-3 years. I think more pain and hardship is on the horizon. Bad for hospitality firms but good for us customers.

Iteresting article
I found this article interesting about the downturn in luxury travel (not a crisis discount, but related) :
