Want to go on a family vacation (?) - there is a great spring rate at the Hyatt Chesapeake Bay.

How:
Go to the Hyatt Chesapeake Bay and use the rate code "SFEVER" to check rates.

The Inside Scoop:
The Hyatt Chesapeake charges a resort fee, so you must expect to pay more than the basic rate for your room. Despite the resort fee, the rate using this promotion on weekday nights is very reasonable for a very nice resort. The rate is especially good for the Thursday and Sunday night before Memorial Day.
