Ive won the Hyatt in Newport Beach so many times I cant remember! Its one of our favorite places for a quick cheap weekend get away! have never paid more then $100 a night and have won in the range of $60-80 most weekends! Hotel is nice but yes there is a big difference in room and locations, but they have almost always been willing to move us, since we are a family of 4 and almost always want to be close to the Nice pool which is over near the golf course. Resort has a ton to do shuffleboard, ping pong, you can rent bikes, the bay is a quick walk on the backside of the property where there is a water park in the summer. Balboa island is a quick bike ride or walk! Crystal Cove one of the best beaches in California is 5-10 min car ride away! you can beat this place, Im actually contemplating bidding for a night tomorrow, since we go to Crystal Cove Cottages often this is a great place to stay the night before you check in so you can get to the beach early! Also food on site always been good, they have remodeled so place feels newer and hipper! Cant go wrong! Must say I hate how PRICELINE switched the zone as well since I like to win the Hyatt in HB as well, but yes the only real way to get that is now through HOTWIRE!! and anything around $120 is a great deal for that place!!! hope that helps any questions let me know, I owe this zone on PCLN lol
