Priceline Hotel: Downtown Phoenix Hotels

[missparker]

I am looking for a 4* hotel in Downtown Phoenix for March 26 - March 31. A friend who lives there suggested the Clarendon Hotel. I don't know if I can count on that if I bid a 4 star, Priceline or otherwise.

 

On Priceline Express I see 2 hotels listed, one of which I think is Sheraton since it's on your Express Deals hotel list. The other is 4.5 star and has no amenities listed. The only 4.5* hotel Priceline has is the Biltmore, so maybe that's it.

 

For Hotwire, I see 2 (4* hotels). One of them is boutique, so I assume that is Clarendon, but the rate matches some of the published rack rates so that is not a deal at all. The other at $158.00 a night might be Hyatt or Sheraton.

 

Have you seen the Clarendon booked through the traditional bidding process? Sometimes the hot rate or express deals are just as good so I may end up with another choice if it's a deal to good to pass up.

 

I know there are no guarantees, but some guidance would be great for this area.

You can see all hotels reported to the board in this area in our Priceline Hotel List where The Clarendon is indeed listed so it has previously been seen as the result of a winning bid, BUT with PRICELINE there is no way to target/avoid a specific property, you need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you bid.

What is your budget for this trip? (per nite before fees/taxes) What is more important to you... staying within your budget, the lowest possible price, getting the best deal/value, or trying to specifically target The Clarendon?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Let us know the above and we will take it from there.

PS- please also follow-up your previous Priceline Boulder thread with whatever you ended up doing for that trip. Thanks!

We did not travel to Phoenix so no hotel was booked.
