Thanks for passing your friend's win along and sharing it with the board.

I have to say - when I bid online for Orange County - I truly aim for getting the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach. I love it there and the staff always takes such wonderful care of me as they know I am traveling alone. I have been staying there for two years and simply have not one complaint. I have not always been happy with the food and room service there, but the friendliness of the staff more than makes up for it! :)
