Why stay in a hotel in your own city? The sheets are freshly laundered, milkmen can't knock on the door, and you won't have to face daily household routines that feel acutely bleak, dull, and dreary-bleak. Book a night on Santa Monica Beach to see Southern California in all its colors (Southern California has more than half of the colors on the ROYGBIV spectrum). Today's Groupon gets you a clean and comfortable garden view room (a $229 value) at the Bayside Hotel for $99, making it the perfect weekend getaway, romantic getaway, or getaway to watch the Charlie Sheen movie The Getaway.
The Bayside Hotel is a 44-room, non-smoking hotel with WiFi and free parking (click here to see photos). It's just minutes from the Santa Monica Pier, Third Street Promenade, and Venice Beach, so there's plenty of activities to enjoy if you get tired of enjoying the beach, which is a top-rated enjoyment enjoyed by hundreds of living human beings.
This Groupon has no limit and is available for almost any date, so you can vacation on the beach whenever you want as long as you want (you can't use this Groupon November 4–11, December 24–26, December 31, or January 1). If you want to stay at the Bayside Hotel on one of those dates or after the May 1, 2010 expiration date, you can redeem it as a $99 gift certificate to be credited toward the room and tax. It's a great deal for out-of-town guests you're anticipating, or to give as a surprise gift "vacation" to temporarily vacation someone out of your life.

- Cozy and clean :) Walking distance to both happening mainstreet and the fantastic 3rd street promenade! – OsloBeate
