Good deeds lead to great hotel deals

— -- Volunteer in your hometown and get a free or discounted hotel stay there or elsewhere through some civic-minded new promotions.

Sage Hospitality's "Give a Day, Get a Night" campaign starts this month and ends Dec. 20. Offered at all 52 Sage properties, including the Nines hotel in Portland, Ore., and The Blackstone in Chicago, it rewards volunteerism. Guests get guaranteed half off or a free night (depending on room availability) if they bring a letter stating that someone in the party has done eight hours of service for a registered non-profit organization.
