I can understand the frustrations about higher prices and minimum stay requirements, but these issues are not unique to gay establishments. In the past when I've visited Palm Springs during special events or holidays, ALL hotels had the same requirements, and like you, I found that by going to a 3rd party (i.e. Orbitz or Expedia), I was able to book a single night. Recently a group of us booked 4 rooms in PS at a gay hotel with a cancellation policy requiring 7 days advance notice. A couple of days before our arrival, 2 of the rooms had to be canceled. The owners were gracious enough not to charge for the unoccupied rooms and additionally upgraded our 2 remaining rooms. As for breakfast, I have stayed at a number of hotels which offer complimentary breakfasts, and in many cases, the food was bad enough for me to walk away. Every hotel is different, so I try to evaluate any hotel (gay or not gay) by the service I receive.
