Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Phoenix (Scottsdale) Courtyard Marriott OT

[thesqueegeekid]

Bid through savingsbarn for ME .... although, I was hoping for the Marriott Suites which someone recently won for $25 on TOBB.

I bid all the way up from $20 ... and got a counter-offer to add $6 at $22.

Hotel is 7 years old - 180 rooms and there is free internet.

Sounds like it'll do quite nicely for a few days stay.

Nice to see you taking some time for yourself (for a change).

Thanks for posting it and as always thank you for your steadfast support.

Thanks thereuare ... the hotel is great indeed. I was just sitting out on my poolside balcony thinking "I can't believe this hotel only cost me $25 a night" and remembering that first day way way back I saw my first "congratulations, you got your ... and we've upgraded" (3* Hilton Gateway Newark ... $49 ... I would have been happy getting a Day's Inn for that price).

Priceline, just keeps getting better and cheaper with age, wisdom, betterbidding.com and of course, unused hotel inventory!!! :)

Thanks bbbb, I am here with my fiance, she's been an Arizonan for 20-some years ...

The heat .... actually, not as bad as I thought .... I didn't even realize it was 108 today until I read the paper tonight. This is my fourth trip here however, it was my first time I got to really relax and see the sights. I love that restaurant "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" ... went to the new one here in Old Town.

I may be moving here in a couple of weeks, I have some interviews this coming week.

The great thing about the US (compared to my 30 years of living in Canada) is how cheap it is to fly anywhere >>>SouthWest<<< ... so, at least I'll never feel trapped in the desert!!!
