8 Hours Community Service = Free Hotel Stay
Donate time to your community. Besides the feel-good points you score, you also will receive a free night’s stay at one of 50 hotels across the United States. Granted, most of these hotels are two- and three-star, limited service hotels (Fairfield Inns, Courtyard by Marriott). Plus there is limited availability, blackout dates, and you’ll have to pay room tax. In some cases you might be offered 50 percent off the rack rate — which is what most of these hotels are going for anyway in this depressed economy — but nonetheless kudos to Sage Hospitality, which manages these hotels. Offer runs from now until Dec. 20. To qualify, you must provide a letter on the non-profit organization’s letterhead proving that you’ve completed the volunteer work at a 501c3 organization such as Meals on Wheels or Habitat for Humanity. (Best deal: The Nines, a Starwood Luxury Collection hotel in Portland Oregon.) Booking details: http://www.giveadaygetanight.com.
