The Hotel Frank, a Personality Hotel

We love saving money and the kitchy Personality Hotels in San Francisco is putting all seven gems of its hip hotel collection on sale for seven days only, starting August 16, 2009. So mark your calendars and set your alarm so you don't forget.

Here are seven reasons why to book a stay at one of Personality Hotels today:

· Literary buffs will love the Dashiell Hammett Suite at Hotel Union Square.

· In-room safes at Hotel Diva have condoms that promote “Safe Sex.”

· Fashionsista’s can max out their credit card at posh retailers Saks, Louis Vuitton, and Armani right near Kensington Park.
