Beat the chill with Winter Weekday Specials at four coastal hostels

October 29, 2008

It’s no secret that there’s been a whole lot of grim economic news lately, which makes for a gloomy forecast for budget travelers looking for a winter escape. But there’s a ray of sunshine through the clouds, as four Northern California hostels in spectacular coastal locations offer a Winter Weekday Special to help you beat the chill.

From November 1, 2008, through February 28, 2009, guests can stay one night and get the second night at half price at the Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel, Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel, Marin Headlands Hostel, and Point Reyes Hostel, for stays falling Sunday though Wednesday nights, excluding holidays.

With our affordable rates and popular locations, you can make a weekday jaunt to a scenic lighthouse or a rustic National Park retreat without breaking the bank. Rejuvenate by hiking or biking over miles of winding coastal trails, or plan a whale-watching expedition during the gray whale migration season (starting in December). Or, melt your worries away with a soak in Pigeon Point’s cliffside hot tub.

All four of the hostels are housed in renovated, historic buildings — from turn-of-the-century officers’ quarters to former lighthouse keeper’s quarters — and offer shared and private rooms, fully equipped kitchens, cozy guest lounges, and outdoor patios, making them great places to hide away from the world and soak up the serenity of our beautiful coastal parks.

To take advantage of this special offer, book in advance by phone and ask for the Winter Weekday Special:

Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel: (650) 879-0633
Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel: (650) 728-7177
Marin Headlands Hostel: (415) 331-2777
Point Reyes Hostel: (415) 663-8811

Fine print: Please note that this offer applies only to stays of two or more consecutive nights, occurring at the same hostel, on Sunday through Wednesday nights excluding holidays. Reservations must be made in advance by phone, and you must request the Winter Weekday Special rate at the time of booking. Offer is not valid for groups of seven or more.
