Priceline Hotel: 2* Phoenix (Mesa) Extended StayAmerica Mesa

[AZ Resort Hunter]

How embarassing - posting this so everyone else can learn from my mistake! :)

Tried to get as close to Usery Pass in Mesa as possible. Apache Junction would be fine however they only have 2 star places listed on PRICELINE (hello Gold Canyon - get yourself listed please!). After countless combinations trying to get at least a 3 star in Mesa or Apache Junction I got frustrated and pressed for time. Waited a day and tried the gammet again - no soap - so in a moment of last resort when for the 2 star. No dice at $30 and finally Extended Stay bit at $35.

Problem is that the Extended stay turned out to be a total dive. Even Adam the front desk person's super excellent friendly service could not make up for this dismal property. Rock hard loud squeaky beds made for 2 restless nights. DO NOT stay here.

My advise is DO NOT drop down to 2 star on PRICELINE - not even in Mesa, AZ. Be more patient (see my next post in which I got the Marriott 3 star for $6 more later in the week) and wait for 3 star inventory to be posted (or just pay more to ensure you get good sleep).

I did not even want to post this because I had to pay relatively high price for a 2 star and then turned out to be a bad place - I fugured however that a little embarassment on my part might save others a bad experience. So please learn from me - if PRICELINE has no inventory at the star level you want, just wait it out or pay more elsewhere!

Happy Hunting! :)
