Priceline Hotel: Resort Palm Springs (Rancho Mirage-Palm Desert) Hyatt Grand Champions

[peakay]

Just reporting a win to help others. We started our bid using the Betterbidding PRICELINE link as always.

We have stayed at Hyatt Grand Champions many times through PL/BB now and it is a great priceline hotel. Highly recommended! The lobby was previously under construction, but it is finished now and its really nice with outdoor seating around firepits, etc. - very modern in style. They have a kids pool area with a small water slide and a very nice, separate adults area for the parents to sneak away to. Separate enough to be quiet, but close enough that you or the kids can check in periodically. Soul recharging.

We stayed here during the BNP Paribas open and were given a Casita at no extra charge due to being polite when some rude customers stepped in front of us (nice touch by the desk agent). Usually we get a "mountain view" room in the main building that does not face the pool. It sounds less desirable, but we find that its quieter since its not on the pool side and if you request a room higher up, you have a fantastic view of the Santa Rosa mountains in the morning and at dusk -- really really nice.

Anyway, as for the bid we bid as follows:

Yesterday - $58, 61, 63 -- did not get it, but were offered to increase our bid to $78 and bid again. From experience I knew that meant we would get it for less if we retried.

Today we bid $65 using another account and got it on the first try. With all taxes plus the mandatory $23 daily resort fee, that brings the total in right around $400 for 4 nights.

See you in the desert....
