Try calling just before your trip because people sometimes cancel their reservations at the last minute.

We stayed at the Sheraton on Friday and Saturday night and were able to get into the Paradise Pier Hotel at a very good rate of $119 on Sunday night.

Calm down, calm down.
You just need to expand your range of geographical acceptability.

Have you called the Sheraton? It was very nice. The rooms were huge, the beds were extremely comfortable, the castle decor is really cool, and the grounds are very pretty. We took the shuttle bus to DL and it was very prompt and only took about 5 minutes to get there and back.

Chris - just did an Orbitz search. The Desert Inn is only 69 a night! That place is usually around 100 (depending on the time of year, of course) - It is a very nice 2 star (some say it's a 3 star), and it's right across the street!

Could be the Produce Marketing Association that's crowding things up. Estimated attendance of 16,000. Here's a site to check conventions:

Glad you found something for Saturday night!
