89 Rooms a Day at 89 Dollars a Night at Hilton Anaheim

Where: 777 Convention Way [map], Anaheim, CA, United States, 92802

In the mood for a lil' bit of Disneyland magic? Maybe some Angels baseball? Or do you, perhaps, have a crisp Benjamin lying around and you want to spend those dollas on a hotel room and an $11 bottle of wine for you and your honey?

The newly-renovated Hilton Anaheim's gotchya: throughout the rest of 2009, the hotel is offering 89 of its rooms every day for the semi-ridiculous price of $89 per night.

The massive 1,572-room hotel — located just next door to the Anaheim Convention Center and about a block from Disneyland — was given a complete overhaul that wrapped up in January. And to fill up those crisp, clean new rooms, the hotel is running an 89@89 Promo (looks like someone went a little cray-cray with the numbers line on the keyboard) via their Advance Purchase Rate — i.e., you have to book your room at least 21 days in advance to snag one of the cheapie rooms.

To get on it, go here and cite promo code QO. And before you go, check out the hotel's blog for weekly happenings, drink specials and whatnot.

Earthquake in Los Angeles Rattles Detective Convention at Anaheim Hotel

Where: 700 W Convention Way [map], Anaheim, CA, United States, 92802

Just before noon, a decent-sized quake--5.8 on the Richter--struck the Los Angeles area, sending shocks from Los Angeles to San Diego and as far away as Las Vegas. The epicenter was 29 miles from downtown LA near Chino Hills in San Bernadino County.

No major disasters have been reported yet but a couple thousand donut fans were affected in Anaheim.

About 2,000 detectives were attending a gang conference at the Marriott Hotel in Anaheim when a violent jolt was felt in the main conference room. Mike Willever, who was at the hotel, said, "First we heard the ceiling shaking, then the chandelier started to shake, then there was a sudden movement of the floor."

But what about the donuts? Are they ok? (We kid, we kid.)

Since Anaheim is also home to Disneyland, the park rides have been evacuated and will be inspected for any damage. Fortunately, everything else in SoCal seems ok--a little rattled but ok.

Any Los Angeles hotels affected by the earthquake? Let us know.
