Though we had these five hotels originally on our radar for 11/11/11, we thought it would be helpful to throw in some more options. Most hotels seem to be having fun with the lucky date—and if they're having fun, you may as well have fun too.

Like the sale going on at Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino and Sonesta Great Bay Beach Resort & Casino for $111-per-night rooms. The deal only lasts from today through Sunday, and requires a two-night minimum, though you've got until December 29 to stay there. Which leaves us plenty of time for dancing around skulls in LA. Rate code: 1111

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/WSTM_Zefferus_0086.jpg" class="top">It's a scenario most New Yorkers would only dream of: stumbling upon a historic hotel built in 1909 that's still in good condition, and then learning you can stay there for free. For three nights! <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/05/nyregion/free-lodging-in-elegance-but-just-for-a-select-group.html?pagewanted=all">The New York Times</a> picked up a story this weekend about the Bossert Hotel, which is allowing certain guests that exact privilege. Unfortunately, the hotel, located near the Brooklyn Bridge, is only targeting Jehovah's Witnesses who have done international missionary work and need a place to stay. D'oh! You didn't think it would be that easy, did you? According to the article, prospective <del>freeloaders</del> guests must submit an application, and, if accepted, be willing to integrate into the Brooklyn Jehovah's Witnesses' communitythe

Just walk very carefully and slowly, remaining aware that any of these doors could fly open at any moment, knocking you off your weary feet and into another person's cabin. Also, shine your smartphone for additional light. It helps. To call the cabins at the hotel 'compact' would be an understatement. But for all of its 'personal space' issues, this place also has a ton of charm. Dorm-style "bunk rooms" are available for people traveling in groups (same-sex only), but the real winners are the "original cabins." Once you've imprinted the floor layout into your mind, all that's

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/VictoriaPWYW.jpg" class="top">It isn't often that a hotel lets you have a say in the price of your stay. But that's exactly what Victoria BC's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Grand+Pacific/local/2310">Hotel Grand Pacific</a> is offering for the next two weeks. Running through next Friday November 11, prospective guests can visit the <a href="http://paywhatyouwantvictoria.com/">PayWhatYouWantVictoria</a> site, answer some survey questions, and enter a price that they feel best reflects the "worth" of a one-night stay at the waterfront hotel. When we first heard about this, we immediately thought of when Radiohead released In Rainbows in 2007, becoming the <a href="http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1666973,00.html">first band</a> to ever release a digital album without an actual pricecustomers chose how much they wanted to pay, and that was that.

Now, two long years, plus $3.5 million in renovation costs later, the hotel is finally ready to show off its new digs. Owners have worked on freshening up the old lady with warmer lighting, new artwork, and a re-arranged lobby that completely does away with the Reception counter (who needs it?). Instead, upon arrival, guests are greeted at the door, invited to plop down in front of a "large desk" (pictured), and converse with a hotel staff member in a more personal setting.
