ROME (AP) - It's the vacation deal of a lifetime. A romantic weekend at a four-star hotel near Venice, Italy, for just a penny.

Turns out the Internet offer was someone's goof. The mistake was made at the Atlanta offices of Intercontinental Hotels Group. But a company spokeswoman says the chain will honor the 1-cent offer to the nearly 230 patrons who booked reservations before the mistake was discovered.

The Crowne Plaza hotel stands to lose nearly $130,000 because of what's termed a human error.
