Ouch. You don't have a hotel for this Saturday...?
It's late in the season, but you might be out of luck for the better places. $300 a night could still get you a reasonable place.
Start calling places like the Metropole, the Pavilion, the Villa Portofino, the Vista del Mar-- the better joints on Crescent. If you're not fussy and just need clean accommodations, I've stayed at the humble MacRae; you can do far worse, and they have been renovating and upgrading the facilities to more modern standards-- and their rates are great for Avalon.
The only special for Catalina Express is indeed the "free ride on your birthday" deal-- which we use every year for my mother-in-law. I love the ride over from Long Beach to Avalon, and if you're lucky the porpoises will be swimming in the Channel to accompany you on your journey. I hope you have a great time!!

Unlikely you will get a hotel room for a Saturday night over a holiday weekend. Most will not allow a one-night stay.
The only other discounts would be senior (55+) and child fares.
If you don't have a reservation on the ferry you may also find that the least expensive seats are sold out.
