SKYLARK PALM SPRINGS IS THE PERFECT HOST HOTEL WCR 2013

We are very pleased to be at the newly-renovated Skylark Hotel for this year's West Coast Rubber Weekend. It is the perfect size, is clean (brand new rooms and grounds), and the staff is eager to please and incredibly attractive! Since we keep many of the events on site, it was important to find a hotel that people could enjoy when they were just hanging out and relaxing in gear as well as when they were socializing in their rubber finest. We are getting in on the ground floor before the Skylark hotel becomes THE place to stay in Palm Springs.

Many of the smaller hotels seemed to small or had some reservations already made which would prevent exclusivity. We kept hearing about the renovation of the less-than-spectacular Camp Palm Springs. Though we were skeptical, it sounded like such a major change and the photos looked GREAT - too good to be true. However, if the renovation was as good as it looked, it would be a great spot for this year. We scheduled a tour with owner/developer Jesse Rhodes who showed us a truly amazing transformation. Though some rooms were still being renovated, 90% of the renovation was complete and it looked fantastic! The rooms are completely new and the grounds were undergoing their final facelift - including the back patio and steam room. All of it was actually exciting. The hotel has been restored to it's original 1955 style, but with all the room and service luxury expected from a Palm Springs resort stay. Jesse promised the top notch service that he hopes to be known for as the property gains positive word of mouth. Transportation, including a classic Rolls Royce, will be provided to the dinner and will be available for other outings. The property is open and they are slowly gaining the reputation as a Palm Springs hot spot with first class amenities. We really got in on the ground floor before this property soars in popularity. Everyone get your registration and rooms booked as soon as possible!

Give a shout out on the Facebook Event page for West Coast Rubber Weekend 2013 and let folks know you're coming and/or to look for roommates. Though the rates are great for Palm Springs in season, we know that hotels can be a challenge for some. The good news is that the rooms are big and many have two queen sized beds. Though all rooms are decorated and outfitted identically, some locations on the property are better than others for this type of event (and privacy). Book now for best locations.
