Scottsdale Hotel Deals | Scottsdale Cheap Hotels

Finding a hotel deal in Scottsdale, Arizona takes a little research, and a lot of planning. The area attracts people from all walks of life, including artists, golfers, snowbirds, and nature-lovers, and is a popular city to visit all year long. Still, Scottsdale sees a high season, low season and shoulder season, just like other popular destinations. Be sure to follow these tips if you wish to spend less on accommodations, while also avoiding the migrating crowds from the north.

Scottsdale sees the largest amount of tourists during its high season, which runs late January-March. Sunny days and pleasant temperatures draw in various visitors and part-time residents wishing to escape the cold and snow consuming most of the U.S. during the winter months. As the amount of tourists increases, hotel rates follow suit. During this peak Scottsdale travel season, resort and hotel rates will be high, and you should expect to pay $300 or more per night on accommodations. Finding Scottsdale hotel deals at this time is nearly impossible, especially in March during Major League Baseball's annual Spring Training, so booking early is a must to ensure a room. Our best advice for winter travel to Scottsdale: Consider signing up for e-mail alerts like this one. Or contact the hotel or resort you are planning to visit directly, and ask if they offer cheaper rates during the early part of the week (Sunday-Thursday) instead of booking a weekend vacation.

There's no denying it, summer is hot in the Arizona desert. Scottsdale's low season runs from June-August, which is when area hotels and resorts feature great deals. Remember those $300/night rates we talked about in the winter? Guests will be relieved to hear that rates during the off-peak travel season drop down to $100 or less per night! Prepare to explore the great indoors during your summer vacation to Scottsdale, temperatures will reach over 100 degrees; you've been warned.

Not a fan of the extreme? Finding a hotel deal in Scottsdale during the shoulder season is your best bet. April-May and September-December both see discounts, sometimes up to $100 off, and temperatures are much more moderate at this time. We recommend booking well in advance, especially if you're looking for a good golf or spa deal.
