San Diego: Fall and winter discounts at Hotel Solamar

I like trying out hotels in cities I frequently return to. Hotel Solamar in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter is a great candidate, with its central location and hip touches. And here’s another reason to try it out: The hotel’s “summer-extending” discount lasts through the end of the year.

The deal: Summer Never Ends includes a drink coupon for the Jsix Restaurant plus the hotel’s usual extras of morning coffee and tea in the living room, evening wine reception and access to the fitness room. Use the promo code “SUMR” to get this deal.

When: The offer is good from Sept. 27 through Dec. 30.

Tested: I had a hard time finding availability for this deal on weekends but had better luck midweek. I found a deluxe guest room with a king-sized bed Oct. 18 and 19 for $182 a night, discounted from $215 a night. (Prices don’t include tax and fees.)
