- I was somewhat skeptical when my wife bought this one-inch thick
- coupon book called 'entertainment '93' because we don't eat out
- all that often, and it seemed to be mainly a bunch of 2-for-1
- deals on restaurants around San Jose, California. However, I do
- travel quite a lot, and I found that the other coupons for hotels,
- rental cars,and even a couple of airlines were quite useful. If
- you are travelling very cheaply, this is not for you. If you
- use credit cards to pay for lodging, then the deals in this
- book (and there are editions for dozens of cities around the U.S.
- and some other countries) will be worth considering. the 50% off
- hundreds of different hotels is where you can pay for the book in
- one night. While we would not have rented a condo for $150/night
- in Kona, Hawaii, our family of four found $75/night to be worth it
- for the amenities. I've also stayed in Washington, DC hotels and
- motels outside of urban areas using this book. Since hotel occupancy
- rates s are pretty low these days, you may be able to find other deals
- that match this.
-
- Entertainment Editions has an 800 number where you can order the
- different ones at a discount. 800 374 4464.
