Where: 150 Clayton Ln [map], Denver, CO, United States, 80206

Hot on the heels of La Quinta's "Hot for Teacher" promotion we recently reported on comes another deal for exclusively for those grooming our future's leaders. Along with reading, writing, and arithmetic, add "rollback"—in prices, that is—to the list of Rs.

The JW Marriott Denver at Cherry Creek is jumping on the teacher appreciation bandwagon, hoping to attract a slew of recess-seeking educators to its Rocky Mountain-located digs. Through the end of this year, they're offering all teachers and administrators 50 percent off their nightly room rate, with prices starting at $99 on weekends and $149 for weekdays.

Where: 49-499 Eisenhower Drive [map], La Quinta, CA, United States, 92253

What does Palm Desert's expansive La Quinta Resort have in common with rock band Van Halen? Absolutely nothing, save for three magic words: "Hot for Teacher." No, you won't hear the song blasting from a cabana upon arrival, but if you are a teacher, you can enjoy a well-deserved discount off your next stay.

The Hot for Teacher package, which runs through September 31st, offers teachers a Resort Casita at the rate of $100 per night, with a $50 dining credit and without the standard $27 resort fee. Booking online is easy and straightforward: There is a checked "Only For Teachers" box on the reservation page, and, on the next page, a convenient list of accommodations that fall into the discounted "Teachers Appreciation" category. Lest you try to cheat this promotion, know that you will need to show a valid teacher's ID upon check-in in order to take advantage of the deal.
