Priceline Hotel: Resort Phoenix (Tempe South) Arizona Grand Resort

[Etter92]

Cheapest with AAA rate is $179. Without AAA it would be $199. I got it for $115. This is the only 5 star property in Tempe South. The main reason to stay here is the pool park for the kids. The craptacular aspect is the lame $30 "resort fee" tacked on to any room rate.

Checking the boards, in 2011, this property usually won between $95 and $100.

Bid History:

1st bid $90 FAIL

2nd bid $100 FAIL, but Priceline countered at $126. I declined.

3rd bid $115 SUCCESS.

I'll post a review when I get back.

Congratulations on your success!

Thank you for sharing your PRICELINE win with the board. There is currently no 5* bidding offered in this zone and i believe this property is still rated 'Resort' by PRICELINE, so i have edited your topic title accordingly. Can you please confirm that this property was won when bidding 'Resort' via PRICELINE?

Enjoy your stay.

Sparky - Were you able to use the waterpark with the $30 resort fee or was the waterpark extra on top of that? Thanks!

[Etter92]

Well, it's actually $40! You basically get 4 wristbands to enter the water park. I think extra's are like $15 each.

The internet is really expensive. It' around $12 per device. So if you get it for your laptop, then you need to pay extra for wifi for your phone.

But the waterpark is probably the best in the Phoenix Area, so if you have kids. it's a good deal..
