"Fall is one of the best times to travel since it lands between two heavy tourism seasons - summer and the holidays. Travelers can find some of the year's deepest hotel discounts with rates often much lower than other months," said Carl Sparks, general manager of hotels.com. "Plus with great weather, beautiful fall scenery, and an abundance of sporting events, fairs and festivals there's plenty to see and do in almost every destination."

This year's Fall Sale features up to 50 percent off select hotels in Chicago, Boston, Las Vegas and Miami, as well as free nights at participating hotels in New York, Dallas and Orlando. In addition to great rates, guests may also receive added perks including resort credits, food and beverage gift certificates, and more.

Guests have five weeks to cash in on the Fall Sale and must book by October 12, 2009 for stays through October 19, 2009. For full promotion details and deals, please visit www.hotels.com/fallsale or see below for a sample of sale properties in favorite fall destinations:
