Here's a very unique opportunity, submitted today by reader Steven. It seems to have very, very limited availability, but I can confirm the sample date (at the very least) is working as of the time of this post. The funny thing is that even though availability is slim, there are several competitors offering this hotel at cheaper rates than WR.

The Expedia and Hotels.com websites have lower rates on all the dates that were tested. Some dates I checked have all room types available at the lower price, while on other dates, only efficiency (Kitchenette) rooms were lower. Check your desired dates for availability.

Dave recently stayed at this property, and found it to be "comfortable enough". No where near as bad as the Tripadvisor reviews, but still lacking. There was no AC in the room (which was uncomfortably hot) as well as sagging beds, but not bad for one night if you're in a pinch.

Coincidentally, a different reader submitted this BRG opportunity to me today. It is the same hotel that reader Alan had terrible experiences at a couple of days ago. A strong YMMV applies here. Personally, this opportunity isn't worth the risk given the story, but I'll list it here anyways. But, you'd probably be best off waiting until we hear the outcome of Alan's experiences.

I personally stayed here once awhile back. It was always easy to get a free night here, but not so much these days. I did, however, find a limited period of time when they jacked up their rates on the WR website.
It's a ways off to December, but this property is 5 minutes from Disneyland Park and somebody out there might be going over the Christmas/New Year's time frame and hotels can be rather expensive during the holidays.

Found this one for all room types including suites. This is clearly a valid BRG claim.

I had one rejection on my earlier Ramada St. George posting (even though it is clearly valid.) You could use this property as an alternative or try to use in combination with the other hotel in hopes of getting a different reviewer.

This one, as long as the rates don't change, should give you no problems since the room types are an identical match. Let me know how it goes. I welcome your comments.
