Booked through betterbidding HOTWIRE link...Another great deal, Thanks!

You were right, it was the orange tree resort...that's what we were hoping for. Booked through betterbidding link. Will post details in a new post so everyone will see. Thanks for all the help.

Ok, so I thought I'd update on my decision. So far, I haven't made one yet. We got the Millenium Resort last time through this site and it was a nice place, but we like to try different places. As for the unidentified one, I also like to have a better idea of where we're going to be going. So I've been waiting to see if any others dropped into our price range. I now see a new property and think I know what it is, but I'll let the experts decide.

Search: Phoenix, AZ, 7/19-7/23, 3 star and above, N. Scottsdale

New property: 3.5 star North Scottsdale area condo recommended in 90% of reviews

Amenities: Resort, 1-bedroom suite, fitness center, pool(s), business center, 24 hr front desk, Laundry facilities, High speed internet, golf nearby, kitchenette, condo

Any ideas on where this is? Thanks for any help in advance. This is my favorite travel site.

Well this worked out so well last november, we thought we'd try the same trip again but for a few extra days this time.

Looking to identify these 2 properties:

3.5* North Scottsdale Hotel $39/night

-resort

-fitness

-pool

-restaurant

-high speed internet

-golf

-tennis

3* North Scottsdale Hotel $39/night

-resort

-smoke free rooms

-pool

-restaurant

-business center

-high speed internet

-golf

-tennis

Here are the search options I used through the link from this site:

phoenix, az, check in - 7/19, check out - 7/23, 1rm, 2 adults, 1 child, 3 star and up

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well thanks to everybody for their help, I went ahead with the 3.5, since the 3 star was no longer available this morning...yellowdog was correct it was the Millennium Resort Scottsdale McCormick Ranch

Amenities-

Resort, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), High-speed Internet Access, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby

$46/night ($57.69 after taxes)+ $10/night resort fee which includes free wireless internet and canoeing on the lake(called and confirmed.) = $67.69/night total. Not a bad deal for my first hotwire purchase and of course I used the HOTWIRE link from this site to do it. Very pleased with the deal and the experience so far...will let you know how the final verdict turns out.

Thanks Again!

thanks for the help yellowdog...I'll give it a few more hours incase someone has a guess on the 3 star and I'll make my choice and of course use the link from this site.

I know I pobably should have posted earlier to get a better response. Anyone who has been working on this...thanks for the efforts. What's the latest you can bid on a hotel on hotwire? I leave on thursday morning...so I hope tomorrow is not too late.

Thanks for the welcome to the board and for looking into my request. I just reran my search with phoenix, az for one night 11/5/09 to 11/6/09 for 1 room with 2 adults and 1 child. Then I narrowed it down to 3 star and above and sorted by price. I got the same results as before. The 3 star in scottsdale was the 3rd result after narrowing down and the 3.5 star was 4th result. Also when you click on the results the 3 star has a 4/5 trip advisor rating and the 3.5 star has no trip advisor rating. Hope this helps, thanks again.

I am looking for 1 night in phoenix area (prefer scottsdale area) 11/5 to 11/6. Two adults and one 3yo child. The two I'm trying to figure out are a 3 star and a 3.5 star...

first question is how much nicer are the 3.5 stars over the 3 stars? It's only a 2 dollar difference for the 3.5 star. Here are the hotel specs

3-star hotel in Scottsdale Area $46/night

This hotel features the following amenities:

-Resort

-Smoke free

-pool

-restaurant

-business center

-high speed internet

-golf nearby

-tennis nearby

3.5-star hotel in Scottsdale Area $48/night

This hotel features the following amenities:

-resort

-fitness center

-pool

-restaurant

-high speed internet

-golf nearby

-tennis nearby

Best guesses? Since they are both resorts how much is a typical resort fee? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
