Doubletree Tucson

445 South Alvernon Way

I had to place over a dozen bids to win this through SavingsBarn. Phoenix and Tucson were cheaper last winter! $70 for 2.5* in Tucson East rejected. $75 bid upgraded to 3* Doubletree. Price on Doubletree's website $209.

Prior bids of $65 for 3* rejected in Tucson Central and $55 for 2* in East, Central, and West also rejected.

Congratlutions on your win.

Hotel rates have risen in the last year just about everywhere... not just Arizona and many hotels are requiring higher accepted bids than the same season last year.

Thanks for sharing your win with the board and for using the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.

This is a tough week for bidding in Tucson. Baseball spring training start and there's a big golf tournament in town. I was able to get the Doubletree for $75 for Saturday and Sunday nights, but for Monday and Tueday I bid up to $85 for a 2.5* and $60 for a 2* without luck. Ended up using points.
