koolkats3 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Sorry to not have used bb link for searching - my bad. Now the one that was $77 is listed at $75 with those amenities. It is a condo with the extra resort fee. There is now another listing in North Scottsdale for $81 - 3.5 star that is a hotel and would save us the resort fee. It shows resort, fitness, business ctr, internet, pool, restaurant, laundry and tennis/golf nearby.Third consideration is Tempe/ASU - for $76 - 2.5 star with Suite, Airport Shuttle, Complimentary Breakfast, Fitness Center, Pool(s). That is closer to friends in the area.Thanks for your help! Link to comment
axe Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I believe the first hotel is the Orange Tree Resort. I'm considering it as well for a trip in a couple of weeks.If you're not familiar with the Phoenix area, I would highly recommend Scottsdale over Tempe. Scottsdale is upscale, Tempe is a collage town. Not that you can't get a great hotel in Tempe, but for the same price, I'd choose Scottsdale.As for the resort fee. I'm not sure there's a resort fee at the Orange Tree. It does mention it on Hotwire, but some of the reviews that I've read it says there are no resort fees. Link to comment
axe Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I just booked this:North Scottsdale area condo 2/24-2/26Amenities:Resort, 1 Bedroom Suite, Fully-equipped Kitchen, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, 24-hour Front Desk, Laundry, Facilities (self-service), High-Speed Internet Access, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearbyfor $76 a night, and got Zona Hotel & Suites - 1 Bedroom Condos.This is actually better for me than the Orange Tree, since it's closer to where my wife likes to shop in North Scottsdale (might have been cheaper to pay more to stay farther away ;-). This hotel has normal hotel rooms and suites, but I'm assuming we will get a 1 bedroom suite, since that's what the description says. Link to comment

koolkats3 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Back from vacation and catching up on email. I double checked the amenities - Amenities for InnSuites Tempe.Suite Airport Shuttle Complimentary BreakfastFitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s)Business Center Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet AccessTennis NearbyThe InnSuites was full when we stayed. We had to wait to get a first floor room in the back - worth the wait because of no elevator. One night there were kids running amok at 11:30 at night - I don't know where the parents were. The breakfast was actually surprisingly good with scrambled eggs with peppers, sausages, fruit, yogurt, toast, cereal and 3 waffle makers. And you got 2 free drinks at happy hour but I don't think they were counting:)Yes, indeed, there was a Gentlemans Club next door with the Ramada. But the rest of the neighborhood is normal with other name hotels and across from a giant mall. Note: I can read upside down and the desk clerk had a paper with reservations from Priceline that were being honored at $50. That would have been a real bargain! Link to comment
