daisydog123: Vilma (the chatbot) is lying to you (this also conveniently answers the question 1 post up asking if Choice lies or rather is incompetent, the answer is actually "BOTH"). Availability at Montage is not "constantly changing", rather Montage Laguna Beach has never been available going back the nearly 20 years of this partnership. Heck, I posted about the zero availability at Montage way back in 2007:

I have since checked for award availability at least annually and never found a single date available. I would absolutely LOVE for the Social Media Team of chatbots to prove me wrong though and find ANY DATE OF THE ENTIRE YEAR when an award room is available at Montage.
