If the creepy fly from last night's debate and the latest video from Donald Trump are giving you election-related stress, Hotels.com says it has the answer. It's offering one lucky person the opportunity to "hide under a rock" for election week. 

The property, a man-made cave built 50 feet below ground in New Mexico, is available for a five-night stay from Nov. 2-7. The cost is at a “presidential rate” of just $5 per night. The property is available on a first-come, first-served basis beginning tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 9 at 9 AM ET. If you’re unsuccessful with that one, Hotels.com is also offering a limited-time 20% off code for select properties with “rock” in the name, like the Sky Rock Inn of Sedona. 

“Political fatigue is real regardless of the year or election,” said Josh Belkin, Vice President, Global brand Hotels.com, in a statement. “We’re transforming an age-old idiom into a bookable experience, so individuals can relax, recharge, and recover... because who knows what else 2020 has in store for us.”

The campaign recalls a U.K. effort by Paddy Power in 2019, which offered people the chance to stay in a special "Brexit Bunker" for the date the U.K. left the European Union.
