pillowqueen Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I'm trying to win a 3.5-4* boutique in Palm Springs but my bids have all been rejected. I'm looking for 2 rooms not more than $120 each. My highest bid was $100. So far I have been increasing my bid in 5-10$ increments and using Indio as my free re-bid, but I'm hesitant to use Palm Desert as a rebid bc I dont want to end up there and I fear that even if I dont select the Resort option, by selecting 4* I may get a resort. Is this true? Does PL interchange the 4* and the resort categories? If you have any advice on strategy that is much appreciated. I am hoping to get Colony Palms, Zozo, Viceroy, or Ace. Thanks so much in advance! Link to comment
Colfax Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 3.5* and 4* bids can be upgraded to Resort, so don't use Rancho Mirage-Palm Desert as a rebid zone unless you're willing to stay there.Indio has 3.5* hotels, so Indio's a free rebid for 4* in Palm Springs, but not for 3.5*.

pillowqueen Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 We ended up dropping to 3.5* in Palm Springs proper and got the Renaissance for $75/nite. Not bad! Not a boutique hotel though. Link to comment
