It’s no secret that the Arizona summer heat has its downfalls…but there are also lots of benefits — including some amazing staycation deals.
So we did the work so you can escape reality on a dime.
We shared some of our favorite deals from hotels around the Valley including Gainey Suites Hotel, The Scottsdale Plaza Resort, We-Ko-Pa Resort and Conference Center and Hotel Valley Ho. But the deals don’t stop there!

Their rates start at $189 per night. What’s attractive about this deal is their Kids for All Seasons program. It’s like having a free sitter for kids ages 5-12 years old!
For many of these deals, you must call to get the discount.
And remember… all deals aren’t what they seem. It doesn’t mean it’s not a good deal, just may not be exactly what you think you’re getting.
Research is key to knowing which staycation deals are worth buying. For example, “rates starting at” sometimes means the lower rates are available during the week or are limited and pay attention to resort fees. We did that research too, to help you avoid additional fees.
