Anyone got a ';real deal'; by waiting to book til you got to .

.. to Charleston???

My husband and I are coming down for 1 night. We have tickets for the dinner cruise outing. ( Oct 25 ) Just curious if we should wait and book a room going thru the Tourist center... and possibly get a better rate. I like staying at the Embassy and the Ansonborough Inn - but their prices are running 300 a night. That is a little much for just one night... for me anyway. We would like to stay downtown somewhere - so we can explore before our cruise.

Thanks in advance for any opinions or advice.

The reason they%26#39;re probably running high is that Oct 25 is the day/night of Chazzfest.

If you haven%26#39;t stayed at the Mills House before, you might give it a try - rooms run usually $150 less. Also - you might try booking through an online travel site such as Hotwire - just make sure you pick the Historic District.

Enjoy!

Unfortunately for you, October is Prime season. Yes, you will find many of the hotels at $300 a night with The Mills House being one of them. You%26#39;ll also find that this is the last weekend for the Candlelight House tours. Like many popular destinations, our hotel rates are based on demand. There is never set prices that stay throughout the year. The only time to get the best rates is the Summer (because of the heat, tourists tend to flock to the beaches)January and February and at this time rates could be as low as $129 -$150 a night! March through the beginning of June (Spoleto Festival) and September to November (beware of high rates $249 - $300)

You can try Mt. Pleasant where the rates generally stay the same and just travel over the bridge into Charleston. Not actually the same but worth a try.

Also, you may want to see if the places like the Elliott House Inn which is now individually owned. Try vrbo.com and type in Charleston. You may find some great deals with that! Good luck!

I just booked the Mills House via Hotwire for 10/19-10/21 for $119 per night. The Mills House website%26#39;s lowest price was over $200 per night.

That%26#39;s a great deal on the Mills House! Congratulations! Enjoy your trip!

How did you know you were getting the Mills House. When I called the Holiday Inn 1-800 number, the best rate they offered me for Sun-Weds was $230. Please reply to robsmithson@bellsouth.net

I just got on hotwire and I don%26#39;t think the Mills House is on the list for your date. Sorry.

Thanks
