Luxury Resort Offers $19 Room. The Catch? There's No Bed!

The Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego is trying a new tactic for drawing guests in a struggling economy: the "Survivor Package." For $19 a night, guests get a tent to sleep in (no mattress, linens, lights, or air conditioning, and forget the free breakfast).

Managers of the luxury resort hope people will return after the promotion willing to pay full price for all the amenities.

$20 for a bivy site? Sure, I typically travel with sleeping bag and pad anyway, so this would be perfect.

why wouldn't you just get a camp site?

Methinks that it'll be overrun with 'hookers' very soon...

This is one of the most brilliant ideas an hotel could have.

Personally, when I travel, i'm on a quite tight budget, and having a place to sleep can be problematic; 20$ for a bathroom and a shelter is a great deal, it would make backpacking so much easier!

after all, who needs more than a sleeping bag, a roof and a bathroom to get a good night's sleep?

The tent is stupid but $19 is a pretty good deal even without a bed. I sleep on the floor sometimes anyway
