Palm Springs: The Parker’s gluttonous midweek deal

When reporting travel deals, I don’t make it a practice to cover the same hotel repeatedly, unless there’s good reason (and there usually isn’t). But once in a while a deal comes along that, well…warrants a post on the Parker Palm Springs for the second time in two months. This hotel’s new deal really is that interesting, but read the fine print (i.e., see the Caveat, below).

Deal: The Parker Palm Springs’ midweek spa special that I posted about last month is still on. But if spas don’t put the lax in your relax, then perhaps the “Glutton’s Delight” package will win you over. Book a room starting at $199 (pre-tax and excluding the $30 nightly resort fee), and receive one $200 credit per booked night for food (but not beverages), to be used at the resort’s restaurants or through room service. Don’t worry, we won’t call you a glutton if you take advantage of this special.

When: This is valid for stays Sundays through Thursdays, now through Aug. 28, 2008. No minimum stay is required.

Caveat: This deal must be fully prepaid. No refunds. Now, read closely: The resort’s formal dinner establishment, Mister Parker’s, is closed Monday and Tuesday nights now through July 7, 2008; from July 7 to Aug. 28, it’s open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights only. You can still get dinner any evening through room service or in the resort lounge. (Breakfast is served at the casual Norma’s; you can get lunch there too, or at the poolside Lemonade Stand).

And you do know that the thermometer has been known to register 120 degrees in Palm Springs’ summer months, right? Good, just checking.

Connect/disconnect: All rooms are equipped with complementary Wi-Fi.
