Consumers can get much more than a discounted flat screen TV or tablet on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

In recent years, hotels have also gotten into the spirit of the shopping frenzy on the day and Monday after Thanksgiving.

This year, on Nov. 29 and Dec. 2, tons of hotels throughout the country will be offering up to 50% off room rates, some with an amenity or two thrown in.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been lucrative for many hotels.

Alex Attia, general manager of The Charles Hotel in Cambridge, Mass. says a Cyber Monday deal generated more than $40,000 of revenue when the hotel first offered it in 2011. Revenue jumped 20% on Cyber Monday the following year.

"For us, the true success has been to really open up availability so guests can actually take advantage," he says. "With the savings and increased availability, we're finding families are booking more and more, taking advantage of our ice rink and other family-friendly winter activities."

Here's a sampling of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals available at hotels throughout the country.

HOTEL TONIGHT

The last-minute hotel booking app is making some changes for the holiday. Typically, hotel deals appear daily on the app at noon. Now, deals are starting at 9 a.m. local time each day.
