Priceline Hotel: 4* Palm Beach (Gardens) PGA National Resort and Spa

[mag123]

Reporting this win for my parents who just recently stayed here on July 7-9, 2007. Started bidding at $50 and increased by $5 incriments until bid was accepted at $70 for PGA National Resort and Spa.

They said that the rooms were updated and of good size and that the resort was very nice, although going through some renovations at the moment. The front port a cache is blocked off so now a doorman meets you to the side, where you must climb stairs (no handicap ramp) to get up to the lobbby. Also, no covering in case of rain. Very inconvenient if dealing with strollers, wheelchairs or bad weather!

Other areas in the hotel that were undergoing renovations were restrooms, restaurants and later this week.. the main pool.

Also, they were surprised to receive a bill for $32 in "resort fees" added on to their credit card at the end of their stay. No mention of it at all at check in, just a receipt under the door on the day of checkout. I am sure this will not go over very well with patrons checking in this week,... just finding out that the pool is closed, yet they are paying a $16 resort fee per day :) Hopefully, PGA National will waive this fee until renovations are finished. Although they refused to do so for my parents.

Overall, they enjoyed the resort and would come back again.

Thank you for passing this info along.

It would also be appreciated if you copy/pasted some of the above to the Hotel Review section of the board where it will be seen my more people as this thread makes its way off the front page of this forum.

Thanks.
