Rani Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi, I'm new to this website, but it looks like lots of people are having great success!We are going to a wedding at the Hyatt Grand Champions resort in Indian wells 10/7/11-10/8/11 (1 night)Is there a way I can bid to narrow it down to gettin this specific hotel for cheap?Rani Link to comment
Colfax Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Welcome to the board, Rani.You can't bid for a particular hotel on PRICELINE. Seven different resorts have been reported to the board in Rancho Mirage-Indian Wells-Palm Desert zone, and you could win any of them. There's no strategy that improves your odds of winning the Hyatt.HOTWIRE might work better for you because you can often ID the hotel being offered in advance. Hyatt Grand Champion has come up on Hotwire as a 4* in HW's La Quinta-Indian Wells zone. (Hotwire uses dift zone names than Priceline in Palm Springs area.)If you check HOTWIRE for your date do you see a 4* offered in LQ-IW? If you'll post the icons you see (Pool, Restaurant, etc) someone can give an opinion whether it looks like Hyatt GC or not.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links for your purchases and searches.

peakay Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Rani, we bid on PRICELINE to go out to la quinta all the time. For a long while hyatt grand champions was the hotel we were getting and it is our preferred hotel, but it appears they are not putting rooms on PL anymore. Right now it seems la quinta is the one that is active and its only a 5 minute drive away. you cannot go wrong either way. my advice is to make your best cancellable normal reservation somewhere now and then watch this forum to see what people are winning as it gets closer to your dates.unfortunately there is no way to know exactly what you get before bidding.

Rani Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I ended up getting La Quinta for $80 on Fri 10/7. I believe I started bidding at $55. Very happy with the deal. Link to comment
