San Diego: Like it or not, Omni’s $129 holiday package comes with fruitcake
Fruitcake, awkward or awesome? If you really love it, take a crack at breaking the fruitcake-eating record of 4 pounds, 14.25 ounces in 10 minutes. If you really hate it, take a shot at tossing one or two at the post-holiday Fruitcake Toss in Manitou Springs, Colo. Either way you need to start with a fruitcake, and here’s how to get one for free with a San Diego hotel stay.
A holiday package at the Omni San Diego Hotel, which starts at $129 per night, comes with nice freebies such as gift-wrapping, valet parking and… well, you know.
The deal: The Hassle-Free Holiday package puts you in a room with a king-sized bed or two doubles, with extras. The free fruitcake is freshly made on the premises and comes wrapped to go, perfect for regifting if you’re not a fan. Use the promotion code “fruitcake” online or by phone to get the $129-plus-tax rate.
When: Good for stays Nov. 21 through Jan. 4.
Tested: To check out this package, I chose Dec. 18, when I would most likely be done with my holiday shopping and could take full advantage of the free gift-wrapping. I found the deal avaialble then. By comparison, the same room on the same night usually costs $189 pretax — without the extras. So the package is a good deal.
More trimmings: The Omni also provides a special notecard and pen to kids who want to write to Santa (yes, there’s a mailbox too). And, with a week’s notice, you can order up a fully decorated real Christmas tree for your room ($175).
