Where To Stay?
Additional Accommodations
Below are additional options for nearby, reasonably priced accommodations. February is a busy month in Phoenix, so rooms book early and rates increase. If you are having trouble finding accommodations, please contact me and I will help you.
An additional tip: If you are making last-minute reservations, download the Hotel Tonight app (not to be confused with Hotels.com). This app is a life saver; it is a “clearing house” for well-regarded hotels getting rid of their last vacant rooms. It’s most useful – and gets you the best prices – if you book your room three days in advance up to same-day. Also, fill in “Paradise Valley” when using this app so it gives you results closest to Mountain Shadows. But note that your bookings are non-refundable when you use this app.
