You listed this as 4*Resort in your post... these are two different star ratings according to Priceline. This has previously been reported as a Resort class property, can you confirm that it is still is (according to Priceline) or if it was downgraded to a 4 star?

sorry, it's listed as a resort prop. i kinda combined 4* and resort in my head for the rancho mirage/indian wells/palm desert area, since priceline doesn't have 4-star hotels available for it (they used to, but then combined them some time ago).
