local hotel deals

some of you girls seem to be pretty familiar with the "nicer" hotels out here. don's birthday is next month and my mom offered to watch dominic for the night so i could book a hotel room somewhere here. i was wanting to find something with maybe like a couples massage or something, but it needs to be pretty cheap. oh, and i want it to have a lazy river! what sites do you guys use, or do you just go to the actual website for the hotel?

  • I usually just use hotels.com or travelocity.com

    I'll always check the actual hotel site before I book though - sometimes the actual sites have matched rates.  

     

  • yeah i always use expedia or whatever site, didn't know if some of you had another super secret one i didn't know about :D

    i found a room at the westin kierland for like 170 something with tax. not horrible i guess.

  • I guess I am not good enough to take Dominic overnight huh? I see how it is Stick out tongue

    I found a really really great hotel in Tucson that has an amazing lazy river and is only $99, but I guess that is not local haha! I was thinking about staying there this weekend, but it's a bit far from where we are supposed to be.

    well we'd still need a dog sitter and just for the one night it's just easier for my mom to stay here. wasn't really planning on going anywhere out of this area but maybe i will look into tucson or something

  • I've been looking for something for our anniversary in July and found better deals through the actual hotel websites.  A lot of them include F&B credits that you won't always find on the other sites.

  • I can ask. I am not sure if she actually has to be here or not to get the deal. She is coming out for my b-day party on the 25th and we are staying at the hotel on the 26th and she's checking us in...

  • ohh ok. well that would be great if you could ask sometime soon so i can get this one booked if not

  • I know I'm a little late to post, but I wanted to recommend the summer splash deals.  Every summer the AZ Republic includes an extra section in the Sunday paper, and it lists various hotels in the valley with reduced summer rates. So if you have the paper from two Sundays ago, check it out.

    A few of our favorites are the AZ Grand, Hilton Tapitio Cliffs, and Hilton Squaw Peak.  All three have HUGE water parks within the resort, I'm talking like multiple water slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, etc.  There is even a shuttle that'll take you between the two Hiltons so you can experience both parks.  We've gone every summer for years!

  • I'm not sure if this is an option for you, not knowing your work schedules, but there are substantial savings on reservations for Monday-Thursday night.  It would also be much less crowded in the water parks.

  • yeah that won't work for a few reasons- don works m-f and isn't allowed much time off for his first year and he already had to call in sick once (since march) and also my mom will be watching dominic and she has work during the week too. i wish we could do it on a weekday but unfortunately it's not an option. i was thinking of just doing the westin kierland. they have a nice pool and a lazy river but it seems more "grown up" so hopefully there won't be as many kids there.

    my cousin's a manager at Ra and will get us free dinner so what's nice about the westin and the grand is that there's a Ra near them, haha.

  • The Westin would definitely have a more adult atmosphere, lol.  The resorts I listed are definitely family friendly, so maybe try one of those resorts on a vacation with Dominic?  They have a whole kids zone that I'm sure he would love.

  • yeah i think i'll book the westin! i was trying to find a coupon code because 180 bucks is a lot for me, but i can't find a code that works for just a one night stay. blah. oh well. dinner is free so i guess i don't really have to pay for anything else but the room.

  • I like your rationale, lol.  I am the same way when it comes to spending money.
