Thanks for the news.
It's on the spg.com website's hotel listing again now, but they don't seem to be "live" with the reservations system yet as all dates come up zero.
The web site still states "April 1" as the date they are accepting reservations, but I think that's just out-of-date. Like I said, I can't get availability even after April 1.
I called the hotel directly and they do indeed now answer the phone "Four Points" now. She said she didn't know if they were online reservations-wise with Starwood but they are taking reservations there.
This is a category 4 Four Points! Yikes. And even the "Rates Starting At" of $169 is higher than the current $159 rate at The Russel (sometimes they have as low as $149). Haven't stayed at the Four Points yet so I can't rate it in comparison to The Russel. But that seems a bit high to me for a Four Points and the competition.
