Epigonos Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) If you plan to attend you might want to make hotel reservations NOW. You can always cancel later if you decide not to make the trip. Palm Springs is already bursting at the seams. All the snow birds who have been stuck in cold country, because of Covid19, for the last two years are ON THE MOVE. Some have already arrived. The town is going to be crowded, Crowded and even more CROWDED this season. Additionally hotel rates are going to go up, Up, UP. ACT NOW!!!!!

+ m_writer Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Will be booking at InnDulge like last year, but anyone know if there will be the early pool party like before? If so, then I'll go to PS on Friday morning instead of Saturday. Edited August 29, 2022 by m_writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epigonos Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) If you are a return Weekender and there are some relatively high end specific restaurants where you would like to eat you will definitely need to make reservation at least two or three weeks prior to the date you want. PLAN early is the key to this years event. Edited August 29, 2022 by Epigonos + m_writer and + Summerson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeddyBear Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 2019 was my last time attending. Looking forward to 2023. I've booked a week at the Hacienda across from InnDulge. I'll arrive 4/13 and depart 4/19. Just need to book my air and car. Available to socialize (e.g., dining) with other attendees arriving early or leaving later. + Pensant and + Summerson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ nycman Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Is there an unofficial "host" resort that is the center of the party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epigonos Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 nycman there isn't an unofficial "host" resort, HOWEVER, I will assume that if the past repeats itself the largest group of attendees will be staying at INNdulge. The place has a very social vibe in the late afternoon. + harey and + Summerson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ leo2510 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Too bad to hear about Canyon Club- but maybe a new owner can make some progress with the place?

+ m_writer Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Booked at InnDulge; will be there from April 13 to 17th. Can't wait (and hopefully I'll get my monkeypox vaccines by then). As for Canyon Club, correct me if I'm wrong but I thought they were going to renovate it completely into a brand new resort/hotel? Is that not the case? Because if so, maybe the new Canyon Club will be loads better and much more updated with more amenities, benefits, and other stuff to truly make it feel like a five-star resort. Caveat: InnDugle requires booking of at least four nights in order for you to register and reserve, hence why I had to show up earlier than planned. I guess it didn't happen last year since the event was not on a Coachella weekend. Still excited to see all of you guys again. + Summerson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about giving somewhere else a try, but Inndulge is a really good fit for me. Comfortable, not too fancy, and friendly guests. + Pensant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ nycman Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Ok, looking at flights….which all basically suck NYC-PSP. Is flying JFK-San Diego and then driving up from San Diego to Palm Springs a horrible idea? + Pensant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doable, but there is an inconvenience to price trade off for doing so! There are closer LA area airports that may be better. Ontario perhaps?

+ Pensant Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 For those of you staying at Inndulge, what is the difference between a superior and deluxe room? I was thinking of a non-pool view, since it might be quieter. + WilliamM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of a non-pool view, since it might be quieter. Deluxe rooms are much larger than superior rooms. (The website claims 40% larger and I think that's probably pretty accurate, although there are several different configurations.) Deluxe rooms have a full size fridge and superior rooms have a smaller fridge (bigger than a mini-fridge, kind of half-size). I've seen the inside of a bunch of rooms there over the years and I've found the photos and descriptions on the website to be pretty accurate. (The descriptions and specs (and some photos) for each room type are on the reservations page. More photos and video tours are on the Rooms page.

Epigonos Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 As far as airports are concerned try to avoid LAX at all cost. Under the best of circumstances it is a mess. Besides constant construction the main problem with LAX is that it is located on the west side of Los Angeles which means one has to drive through the middle of the city to reach Palm Springs. Depending on the time of day the drive through downtown L.A. is god awful or worse. The best airports for Palm Springs are as follows: 1.) Palm Springs if price is reasonable, 2.) Ontario about an hour away is a great airport and very easy to negotiate, 3.) Orange County doable because it is on the east side of L.A. and finally 4.) San Diego probably a better drive than that from LAX but still a long drive. + Charlie, + harey and + Vegas_Millennial 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epigonos Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 nycman American Airlines has numerous flights from New York Kennedy to Ontario with one stop over in either Phoenix or Dallas/Fort Worth. Price is currently around $1,200+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is flying JFK-San Diego and then driving up from San Diego to Palm Springs a horrible idea? I grew up flying into Ontario and have made the drive to Palm Springs a couple of times. As others have mentioned, about an hour drive. I always compare airfare flying ONT and PSP. Of recent times, the difference has been small enough to fly into PSP. However, this year the factor was flight times; I wasn't going to try to leave InnDulge before 5:00 to make sure I made a 7:00 flight out of ONT.

curt gregory Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 @nycman if you can get a nonstop to San Diego, it’s an excellent option. The two hours you spend driving from SAN to PSP offset the time you lose changing planes in PHX, DFW, or DEN. (To say nothing of potentially misconnecting or losing your bags!). And as others have said, avoid LAX. + Charlie, thomas and + Vegas_Millennial 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ purplekow Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Decided since the fun sleaziness of Canyon Club was not available, decided to book at Inndulge and took the last suite. Going for a bit of Indulgence this time around. Looking forward to it. Booked from the 12 to the 17.

+ Pensant Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 One caution about SNA is to make sure you hit the 91 eastbound before 3 pm. Perhaps Covid and work from home has lessened the grueling traffic outbound, but when I lived in south OC it was brutal. + Charlie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
