The issue with that is really where you want to be and what you’re planning on doing, and how much you’re willing to drive around. Personally, as someone who goes to PS every year, I’d cancel the trip over having to stay in Indian Wells.

Based on the history and the known alternatives, if you book a stay here, IMO you shouldn't expect anything - not a room, nor a suitable rebooking. It's a total caveat emptor situation. If you don't have your own back-up booked, that's just unrealistic planning.

haven’t booked at a “soon to be open” Hyatt property in some time. Have backed up res at the Triada. Normally don’t stay in Palm Springs proper but have some family gatherings in town.

They have began contacting people to change booking, suggesting relocating to the Hyatt PS. I expressed my opinion that the hotel is a dump. Nonetheless, they shifted my reservation to November while maintaining the original rate. However, they have now incorporated a destination fee into the booking.
So now the website says “Now accepting reservations for stays from September 30, 2024, and beyond.”

At this point I suspect the goal is to get part of the hotel open as soon as they can; but part of the complex is clearly going to remain under construction well into 2025.

Funnily enough, while I was having a beer out front at Las Palmas Brewing this afternoon, there was an even stronger wifi signal from an @Hyatt_WiFi SSID than the brewery's own wifi. It _is_ kinda across the street and diagonal from the construction site I think? Certainly too far away from the HR which in any case the WiFi there is Hyatt PS.
