Travel Deal of the Day (Jan. 17, 2007)

Traveling this weekend? If you are taking a last minute trip, be sure to check the last minute hotel specials offered by Marriott.

The Deal:
Each week, Marriott offers deeply discounted rates for the following weekend as part of its eBreaks Program. You can often save over 50% off of normal rates.

How:
Each Monday, check the Marriott eBreaks Website to find the rates available for the following weekend.

The Inside Scoop:
These eBreaks rates are sometimes great deals, but sometimes can be higher than other available rates. When checking rates for a last minute trip, be sure to check an aggregator website such as kayak.com and investigate whether Priceline or Hotwire has competitive rates (in addition to these Marriott eBreaks rates).
