We usually see hotel rates in Palm Springs double or triple in fall and early winter. Amazingly, we found a $69 per night deal at Marquis Villas Resort for Sunday through Thursday stays Aug. 20 - Dec. 20. Weekends are only $30 more.

These 1000-square-feet, 1-bedroom condo rooms are regularly as much as $219 per night over this peak travel period -- making this deal up to 60% OFF.

Located right in Palm Springs, Marquis Villas Resort has amenities we'd usually expect at a sprawling rural setting, such as tennis courts, basketball courts, a barbecue area and a pool. Rooms include a balcony, a fireplace and a full kitchen.
