How Much Are You Willing to Give Up For a Low Room Rate?

What would you be willing to give up for a discounted room at San Diego's rural Rancho Bernardo Inn? That's the question that General Manager John Gates asks on his �GM Gone Mad� Twitter, where he tweets various promotions and packages to a tribe of 120 loyal followers.

Past specials have included a 50% discount at the Inn�s restaurant, El Bizcocho, and a deal where Gates offered a complimentary stay at the resort to the first person who brought in an umbrella on a rainy day. And now: the "Survivor" package.

The "Survivor" package runs from May 15-June 15, and August 16-31, starting at $219 per night for a room and breakfast for two. As opposed to most "starting rates," however, the price only drops from there.

Here's the breakdown:

· $219 deluxe accommodations plus breakfast for two
· $199 without breakfast
· $179 without honor bar
· $159 without A/C or heat
· $139 without pillows
· $109 without sheets
· $89 without lights
· $59 without linens
· $39 without toiletries
· $19 without bed

By the end, you might as well just camp out in your backyard; really, that would probably be more comfortable. For the more adventurous travelers out there, though, the special presents a unique opportunity to shave a few bucks off your stay. And hey, we dare you to go for the �no bed� package.

The tribe has spoken.
