Good for them. They have to make money however they can, just like everyone else does.

$299 per night is a bargain? Don't think so. And this is probably predicated on at least a two night stay. So, ya got $600 already. And that does not even figure in the food at the over priced restaurants, tips for all the employees with their hands out, continually. And this is an economy where people are worried about keeping food on their family. Only ones going to really benefit with this will be snowbirds with a load of money. AZ is one of the hardest hit states with job loss, so it is rather doubtful many locals will be able to partake of this, no matter how you dress up this pig and put lipstick on it!!

Great story! It's true - I've always wanted to put my family up at a hotel over the holidays, but it was impossible to find anyting under $200. Now I've got choices from $99?? Those are typically summer prices. Wow. Can't wait to show my visiting family what our great resorts are all about (and I'll be sure to pop by and enjoy some of the amenities - like the heated pool - myself!)

What a load of hoo ha! Rates never this low before is an out and out lie. We spent many nights in nice resorts here in the valley in the late 80's and early 90's for $59/night. That's $96 in today's money. Check out what they believe are low rates today. Some of the hotels charging $59 back then included the three Points locations, And the Marriott Camelback.
