ponderus Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 This is a new 3* property for the Phoenix > Downtown Scottsdale - Old Town area. It was formerly the Best Western Papago Inn & Resort. Magnuson Hotel Papago Inn 7017 East McDowell Road Scottsdale AZ 85257 This property caught me by surprise as I was trying to get a 3* in Camelback Corridor - Biltmore - Arcadia or a known/listed 3* in any of the three Scottsdale areas. A bit disappointed with the looks of the place. On the up-side they are renovating the rooms, it's a quick 10-15 minute drive from Sky Harbor, and a decent hot breakfast is included. Bid #1 $55 Camelback Corridor Bid #2 $67 Camelback + Paradise Valley (which only has 3.5* up) Bid #3 $74 Camelback + Central Scottsdale = counter-offered $122 Bid #4 $77 Camelback + Downtown Scottsdale $77/night x 2 nights + $30.38 taxes/fees = $184.38 total Not much of a savings as Priceline is offering $87/night and other sites $96/night for the same dates. Will try to be a bit more careful next time... Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Sorry to hear this wasn't one of the properties you were hoping for, but glad to see it does have some good qualities that will work well for your needs this trip. Even if bidding on PRICELINE, you should first search using our BiddingHelper.com tool and look in the PRICELINE EXPRESS tab as there is a 'IS THIS A GOOD PRICE' button next to each listing that will show you retail rates of hotels in the zone of the same star rating... helps to determine a maximum bid amount as well as know some possible outcomes when bidding. Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us add this property to the Priceline Hotel List. . Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
