JasonS Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks. I figured Palm Springs is a common weekend destination and my dates were flexible, so it was worth a try. In your experience, can you save a lot by splitting weekday and weekend nights into separate bids? Of course, this could easily require a hotel move which may be inconvenient. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 It depends upon the rate difference between the dates.

tivoboy Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 the bnp paribas tennis open is that week, and weekend. that could be why rates are higher or availability is lower. I'm trying myself for 3/12/-3/14/10, having trouble finding something reasonable. Link to comment
