Is Beaumont, CA an easy drive to the Palm Springs, CA area? Close enough to do touristy things without feeling like you're in the car all the time? Only have 3 days side trip from LA.
Another possibility is San Diego Staybridge Suites in Mira Mesa. Never been to CA before. Staying in LA but want to detour for a weekend. First preference was Palm Springs (already have a paid reservation there). Beaumont or San Diego for a first time CA visitor???

Beaumont is not close to Palm Springs. You'd be doing a lot of driving. Same for Rancho Bernardo if you're planning on visiting the Downtown San Diego area.

quite a useless list - just 1 IC, and not too many options for Europe.

I've just finished the map for this preview list, I hope that some will find it useful! I can't embed directly to the forum but you may view it here: Weekend Blitz - Preview: IHG / PriorityClub PointBreaks List October – November 2014
I have also color coded the properties based upon brand.

Well, I am unable to travel there during this time-frame, but it seems to me that the with so few chain hotels in Israel, the Crowne Plaza Jerusalem for $30.00 - $35.00 a night is real value. ^

San Diego was an option at Rancho Bernardo but think I want to see more stuff in PSP. Joshua Tree, tram, hikes, etc. Again, staying in LA for the week so want t get out in nature for the weekend.

I was hoping for Shanghai (or surrounding area) hotels, Zhenjiang CP and Xuzhou CP for my upcoming trip. No luck 
The list for Europe is hopeless.

I think the Rancho Bernardo location is a good opportunity for anyone visiting SoCal. You can fly into Ontario and rent a car. It is close to the Safari Park/wild animal park. Once you get on the freeway I-15 the beach and downtown aren't too far. It might look far on a map but it doesn't take too long. You are also closer to the beaches in La Jolla and to the north which are very nice. If you like the Old West, Poway can be interesting.

I will definitely use Jerusalem. Amman, eh, don't wanna be snatched by some ISIS people...
Some dates in Jerusalem (Like October 10-13) are blacked out.
