How can I get cheap hotels in Phoenix?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Phoenix

If you're looking to travel to Phoenix on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $58. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $139. Staying a short amount of time in Phoenix is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Phoenix, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
When booking cheap hotel rooms in Phoenix, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Phoenix, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.
For additional savings on Phoenix cheap hotels, be sure to check out Expedia Rewards. You may be eligible for extra discounts on your trip, and you can earn points for even more savings on your next trip. Becoming a member is entirely free.

Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort
5/5 Excellent
"The highlight of our stay was our shuttle driver Richard the first day of our stay. He was friendly and informative about the property. Our next highlight was our encounter with housekeeping. We had the pleasure of meeting Aleisha (hope spelled right) She was such a joy and quickly and efficiently completed our room refresh. She had such a wonderful smile and laugh! She definitely brightened our day and she added little touches that went over and above to make the room cozy and inviting! Give that lovely spirit a raise!!"
