DDSeeker Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 New hotel for the lists, but I knew which property I was getting based upon the vacation package section.$108.00 Room for two nights$40.01 Taxes and feesTaxes and fees are darn near 40% of the room rate. This is the first time I've ever tried to get a Priceline or Hotwire room in a real resort area. And this is not the only hotel that had outrageous fees in Palm Springs (I wrote about this earlier). The Palm Springs Riviera Resort has an $8 / day resort fee. I'm hoping that the high fees already take the resort fee into consideration even though Hotwire says they don't.Priceline bids for these dates:3* Palm Springs (Central) -- $502.5* Palm Springs (Central) -- $513* Indio -- $52All failed. Avoided Palm Desert zone because I did not want to win the Indian Wells Resort with its $16-17/day resort fee. A resort fee that high really makes bidding difficult. I must say, Palm Springs has been the most difficult place to use the opaque services.Oh yeah, I get my $10 Entertainment rebate for using Hotwire, too. Sorry, thereuare, I didn't buy my book through your link like last year. My kid's school sold them as a fundraiser. I did access Hotwire through savingsbarn.com, though. Link to comment
