Ok So I am officially scared.
I just cancelled my reservations for Christmas at our regular hotel, and changed them to the Extended Stay (http://www.extendedstayamerica.com/minisite/default.asp?HotelID=543) at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Im totally nervous about it, but we are trying to cut costs everywhere we can. And they booked me at $67.44 a night!!! :eek: The hotel is owned by Marriott (IIRC) and was built in 2002, so seriously how bad can it be?
has anyone ever stayed there?
I stayed at one once in Phoenix and LOVED the fact that it has a full kitchen (full sized fridge, stove and everything, plus all cooking and eating utensils) and it was very nice IMO.
We always save a ton of money by eating in our room, but thus far have always been limited to microwavey type stuff...this will seriously increase our cookability :)
But since Ive never stayed at this particular one Im nervous.
We have always stayed ultra close (across the street, so we can walk everywhere) because we never have a car (we always fly) but with the fact that we are driving this year....did I mention the amazing rental car rates I got from Enterprise?? $24.99 a day for a full size sedan! Goodness! :eek: who can beat that? So anyway, we are driving and since our parking is free (Premium APs) why not stay a bit further away and be able to cook and for cheaper???
So? Any clue how far this is? and has anyone had any experience there?
please do tell and ease my troubled ickle mind.
*chews nails*
Oh and I tentatively went ahead and booked our trips in May '05 and in July '05 there too, just in case we do end up liking it...but I havent cancelled those reservations with our regular hotel yet.
*chews nails some more*
so far now our trip is
approx $300 for the room (with tax)
$150 for the car
we figure $100 for gas
thats $550.
then all we need is food...which I can buy some stuff a little a time and spread it out and bring it with us in a cooler...and then the biggie, renewing the APs (a staggering $600) ughh
*chews nails completely off*
