			<description><![CDATA[ Couldn&#39;t get 4 nights for as high as $80. So bid for the first night 11/25/09 and got Hyatt Grand Champions Resort on first bid of $60. When checking in
they offered me a special rate of $199 for the next 3 nights. So I went to the room and bid on Priceline for 11/26 - 11/29 and got the Hyatt again for $73 on
my third bid. Be aware that there is a $10 per day parking fee and $23 per day resort fee. Still the total price is a great bargain for a great resort. ]]></description>

Mirage zone, thinking it was a free rebid because it only had 3*.  Didn&#39;t realize that Priceline &quot;upgraded&quot; 4* bids to resort.  Quite suprised
when I got this resort in the Rancho Mirage zone.  Wonder if I could have gotten it for less than $55 per night.

any luck. I did get a counter offer once at $63 to add $17 but declines. I was starting to think the good deals for the Hyatt and LaQuinta Resorts for this
summer were not to be granted. Previous years post for the Indian Wells resorts such as the Hyatt went for as low as $55.

<br>
Should have gone lower because my last bid was $2.00 over my previous high bid of $50 for a 3.5*.  As soon as I put in the $52 through the Amazing Bargains
Link I got it.
<br>
<br>
Still $52 per night plus $14.42 for taxes and fees is $66.42.  An excellent price for the upscale Zoso in downtown Palm Springs.

Hotel web sit was $99.00 per night plus about $9.00 in tax or $108.00.... ]]></description>
