Used PRICELINE link from this site - of course!!! From experience I know the "Downtown Area Phoenix Hotel 3.5*" would likely be the Hyatt. Checked HOTWIRE - it was $65. Went to PRICELINE and bid $40, they countered for $50 - I accepted. Saved over $15 after fees from HOTWIRE. This was my first ever PRICELINE purchase. I have always just bought from HOTWIRE. If you know the hotel for sure, then save money and bid, I did! Tanks BB for this forum :) Booking Date: 7/16/10

So here is the info I searched with: July 16-17, near address (2121 North 83rd Avenue, Phoenix, AZ) It finds four hotels that are listed as near Sky Harbor (you have to click on see more areas and it will pop up the Sky Harbor option check box. Then you will see... 3.5 star - $44 - shuttle, fitness, pool, restaurant, biz center, laundry, internet, golf - this is either the Crowne or Doubletree - the Doubletree gets rocking rating on Travelocity < the Crowne gets average or lower rating - I don't want the Crowne 3 star - $52 - shuttle, fitness, pool, internet - can't figure what this is 2.5 star - $67 - shuttle, fitness, pool, restaurant, biz center, laundry, internet, golf - can't figure what this is Open to suggestions. I could stay closer to the address listed (which is Cricket Pavilion) as these places are 12+ miles out, but right by the freeway I will be traveling on.

I did a search on HOTWIRE and it is showing a 3-star for $46 (with: shuttle, gym, pool, internet) and a 3.5-star for $48 (with: shuttle, gym, pool, internet, restaurant, business center, laundry, golf). I can't figure out what the 3-star is - thought it might be the Doubletree Guest Suites but the amenities are not right. And there is conflicting info if the Doubletree is a 3-star or 3.5-star. I believe the 3.5-star to be the Crowne Plaza, but it could it just as easily be the Doubletree as they are right next to each other and both show Golf (according to Travelocity). I guess I would not really care except the Crowne gets very average traveler ratings on Travelocity and the Doubletree gets nearly all 5-star ratings form over 20 people - so I don't want the Crowne. Will purchase thru links here if I can get a definite answer :)
