If you haven't booked a hotel yet, wait till the end of March. Your date is out of season and you will probably be able to get a 3.5* for $55 (the Hyatt) or if not the Renaissance at about $70. They have loads of inventory and Sunday is a go-home day.

Priceline showed 3.5 stars to be the best deal. I started at 3.5 with $85 (Rejected) but was offered a room for $17 more (which I declined). I added Palm Desert and bid $92 also Rejected. I started a new bid at 3* in Palm Springs at 97 and won the Doral.

Started bidding in West Mesa area for 3* at $50, rejected, then added South Tempe and bid $55, also rejected. Started new bid with West Mesa and Tempe 3* for $60 which was accepted and given 3.5* Sheraton Tempe/Airport Total for 3 nights $215.22. Bid through PRICELINE link both times.
