I got a hotel room for under $10

…and it’s for a whole night! Wisebread posted about the Super 8 promotion, where you can book a room for $8.88 if you’re one of the first 800 people to make a reservation after 8PM EST. This promotion lasts through August 15th, and I can verify firsthand that it works.

We were able to book a room for our Arizona trip – we’ll be staying in Sedona for one night, and had budgeted $70 for a hotel room (rooms in Sedona go for anywhere between $100 – $150, and we were going to split the cost with our friends). Since we’re just looking for a place to sleep, Super 8 will be just fine for our needs. After taxes, the room came to $9.97 (regular price $150).

This is so great, because I’m going to take the other $60 and put it towards the car rental (see my post here on the August financial challenge). I owe a big thanks to Wisebread for saving me quite a few bucks!
