Is there a reason you're not using your re-bid zone?

Are you willing to pay more for a Resort vs. a 4* OR is your goal the least expensive 4* or better for this stay?

I don't understand your question about my re-bid zone?

My objective is the least expensive4* or better.

This could be a tough one. May 28 is Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend and it looks like some of the resorts and 4* have a two-night minimum over the weekend, at least on HOTWIRE.

Checking HOTWIRE for 5/28 alone the highest rated hotel they have in Palm Springs-Cathedral City is a 3.5* for $140 (looks like Doral Desert Princess) or a 2.5* in Rancho Mirage-Palm Desert for $97. In La Quinta-Indian Wells HOTWIRE has nothing.

But if you check 5/27 and 5/28 together then 4* become available. There's a 4* in PSP/CC for $218 and a 4* in La Quinta-Indian Wells for $191.

What that means is a two-night minimum at those hotels. Is staying two night an option for you?

If not I think you need to be bidding higher, or try for 3.5*/3*. Many resorts and 4* are sold out. The Riviera is $409.
