Hi all :wave:

We're interested in changing our hotel reservations to either Swan or Dolphin and we're looking for a good rate, AAA is our best bet (we're not eligible for teacher, nurse, military rates). We're going from Jan 12-20, which includes MLK Jr. weekend.

My question is: Will the holiday weekend make rates significantly high or make a AAA rate hard to get?? Swan or Dolphin can have great rates at value season, but I'm not so sure if we can get that this time around due to the holiday.

Thanks a lot!

I'm not sure about your question regarding MLK weekend, but if you stay at Swan or Dolphin make sure you enroll in the preferred guest program. It is free and you earn points for each stay, plus you get a free room upgrade if it is available(They usually are). :wave:

Thank you! I am a Starwood Preferred Guest (I think that's what you're talking about) but I forget from time to time that I am! Thanks for the reminder...I'll be sure to use it!

That's it! We always take advantage of the SPG program. I think that government employee discount still works if you just work for a governemnt run entity. So you could be an office assistant, or in my case a web programmer for a state college, and still get the discount. You probably knew that, but just in case you didn't I thought I would mention it.

Thanks for the info...very appreciated. Unfortunately, we are not eligible for basically any discount they offer but AAA or maybe SPG. Hopefully we can get a good AAA deal and maybe a discount for me being an SPG.
