·Kimpton Hotels: Three San Diego Kimpton hotels are offering a "Fall Back Into Summer" package available now through December 31st. This time of year is the best time to visit the city.

•A free one-hour bike rental for two, and two free local beers daily at Hotel Solamar Book on the websites using rate code "DIEGO."

·Affinia Hotels: This family-friendly brand, which has rooms with kitchens and sofa-beds, is a “perky” place with its evening Comfort Hours offering free snacks and beverages as well as a Comfort Cart where guests can sample new amenities for free. The “TLC VIP Getaway” package, valid through December 31, is great for sight-seeing city visitors and includes:
•Welcome cupcake.

*PEOPLE: As always, read the fine print before you book. Several flash sale sites require full payment at the time of booking and offer no refunds. Other sites have strict cancellation policies. Be sure to read all of these before you hand over your credit card. Or we will spank you. And not in a "hurt so good" way.
