I have heard several people on this board refer to an "entertainment rate" or an "entertainment book"? What is this? How much does it cost? And specifically in reference to the HoJo, what discount do you get?

Thanks!

It is a book of discounts that you can buy specific to you geographical area. It has dining, attraction and hotel discounts mostly. Check here...

Many schools and non-profit organizations sell the books as a fundraiser. You might want to check with your local school district before ordering one online.

To answer your question about what kind of discounts you can get at the HoJo: you can get a standard or deluxe for $54 + tax, and a premium view room for $69 + tax, if the ent. rate is available during your stay.

Either Entertainment.com has changed the website or I have just stumbled upon something I have not seen before. Many of us know about the HoJo and Hilton rates but here is something interesting I found about other hotels. For 134 Anaheim hotels the following is supposed to apply:


Call the hotel of your choice at the number listed to make an advance reservation. Be sure to identify yourself as an "Entertainment Member."
• As a member, you are entitled to a 50% discount off the rack room rate, which is a hotel's non-discounted full-price rate.
• Occasionally, hotels may offer their own promotional rates to the general public, a short-term price traditionally available during low occupancy periods. If these rates are the same or lower than the stated Entertainment rate, your membership entitles you to an additional 10% off the rate available to the general public.
• Rates cannot be used in conjunction with any other discounts, including daily rates or rates found on the Internet.
• Entertainment discount reservations will be accepted until the hotel projects 80% of their rooms to be sold for your requested dates. As a result, the discount may not be available for your entire stay because occupancy varies on a daily basis.
• If "R30" appears in a hotel's listing, they will only accept reservations when made within 30 days of arrival.
• Be sure to ask for the hotel?s policy on deposits, cancellations and late arrival guarantees.

Here is the link to the hotels who should follow these guidelines.

May be beneficial to those who are unable to get HoJo at the cheap rate... all 134 hotels can't project 80% capacity... right? (Except major holidays)
