SAN DIEGO – A luxury resort in San Diego is offering rooms for $19 a night — if you don't mind sleeping in a tent.

In this "survivor package," the hotel asks you to make a few small sacrifices:

"For $19, guests give up breakfast, air conditioning, lights, sheets and even the bed. Staff will remove the mattress and headboard and leave a small tent instead."

You get four walls, no amenities, no toilet paper, nothing but a safe place to stay in the dark heat of a summer night.

Let's see, $20 x 30 days = $600 a month divided by double occupancy = $300.

My first impression was that this was a pretty awful deal. Now that I look more closely I can see the appeal for someone who is homeless.
