It's the Economy Stupid

The Yuma Sun reports that Yuma County is following the rest of the State of Arizona in the economic downturn. The reports of the increasing numbers of people unemployed are a bit daunting, and the housing market continues to decline.

Is there any good news? Some suggest the federal stimulus package holds out hope for more jobs in Arizona, up to 70,000, and banks receiving money will help stimulate lending and home buying again.

The good news for the Yuma Cabana Motel is we have not had to reduce our workforce, and have been able to fill employment vacancies as they arise. We seem to be surviving pretty well considering the downturn. Our goal is to keep our employees working, and at the same time keep our prices low for our guests.

We are taking appropriate measures to save where we can without cutting corners in the quality of products and services we provide. We have been implementing eco-friendly policies for a while now, which is even more important during this downturn in the economy because these policies help us save. We ask our guests to help us save by reducing unnecessary laundry and cut back on electricity by turning out the lights.

• YC TRAVEL TIP: Shop for a room like you would any other purchase. Drive by, look inside and see what you get for the money. You will be pleasantly surprised by what the Yuma Cabana has to offer for the price. It truly is hard to believe!
  

The fact that our price points are much lower than the newly constructed chain hotels is helping bring more price conscious business our way. We encourage you to drive by, check out one of our rooms before you decide - and see the value for yourself. Many of our guests, once they discover us, are so pleased to have found such a great place to stay at a fraction of the cost of other rooms in town, they wonder why they have been paying so much elsewhere, for essentially the same product. In addition, our stellar customer service and 100% satisfaction guarantee policy attracts customers and keeps them coming back.

Thank you for your continued and dedicated business. It is you that keeps us going and helps us do our part in keeping Yuma employed!

How does Yuma Cabana’s Price–Beat Guarantee work?
If you find a lower price anywhere else in Yuma at another AAA rated establishment, the YC will not only match that price, but lower it by $1.00! Guaranteed!

How do I know which establishments are AAA rated?
Please check AAA’s website or consult its “Tourbook.” As of the date of this publication, the following establishments in Yuma, Arizona are rated by AAA:

One Diamond Rated
Motel 6 Yuma East

Two Diamond Rated
Yuma Cabana Motel
Best Western Coronado
Comfort Inn

Three Diamond Rated
Best Western Innsuites

Are there any establishments not rated by AAA that you will price-beat?
Yes! Even though AAA offers comfort to guests that a certain minimum quality and standard has been met, there is competition from other non-AAA rated properties that are part of a chain. As such, as an exception to the rule, the YC will price-beat the following chain properties that are not AAA rated as of the date of this publication:

Knights Inn
Ramada
Rodeway
Travelodge

How do I prove the rate at another establishment is lower?
The YC keeps abreast of the best rates for you, and generally the YC's rates already beat everyone else, and in most cases are much, much lower than the properties listed in the Price-Beat Guarantee policy. If you know of a rate that is lower than the YC, let the front desk know and it will be verified for you at the time of booking by calling the property to confirm. However, if you are referring to an internet special rate, the front desk clerks will not, and cannot verify this for you. You must bring a printout from the properties’ website (not a third party website) with you at the time of check-in for the dates in question. (Third party rates are not accepted. Please see what is not included in our price-beat below). Most properties differentiate between 1 and 2 bed rates. The YC will match any 1 bed rate for a 1 bed room at the Yuma Cabana Motel, or a 2 bed rate for a 2 bed room at the Yuma Cabana Motel, subject to availability.

What is not included in the Price-Beat Guarantee?
The YC will not price-beat any properties not listed in AAA, and not listed as an exception in the policy as an acceptable chain for the price-match guarantee. The YC will not price-beat any third party advertisement or third-party internet price (i.e. hotels.com, yahoo, expedia, etc.) All internet special rates offered by another properties’ website must be verified by the front desk clerk at the time of booking by bringing a printed page from the properties’ website with the rate for the dates in question. The front desk clerks cannot check internet rates for you. The YC cannot price-beat on our Suites as there are only four and they are extra large one-bedroom apartments with fully equipped kitchens, incomparable to any other hotel room. But, the rates on the suites still remain quite low. The YC charges extra for pets, roll-a-ways, and adjoining kitchens. All rates are subject to tax. The price beat policy does not apply during special events, does not apply to weekly rates, and cannot be combined with other discounts.
