Phoenix Discount Bookings with Accommodation Chicago

I was born and raised in Phoenix. I would not live there now and only visit if we have to such as going to the airport or other business. I prefer smaller towns with clean air and a healthy environment to walk and hike in nature. Phoenix is HOT this time of year...obviously. Sadly, the air quality is Poor now-a-days with OZONE (which is Invisible but still Unhealthy), and has Smog like other big cities. I LOVE Arizona! It is a diverse state with cool people and very diverse environments from the Sonoran Desert-the only place where the Saguaro live (AZ and Mexico), and we have Snow and the Grand Canyon! Visit the state for sure! Go to the rural gems in Arizona.

I was in Phoenix for GCU’s graduate school commencement and I was blown away by how beautiful the city is. I found myself staring out the window during landing because I saw the most serene clear blue skies and orange hills/mountains. The city had this tint over it, not in a sense of pollution but, a tint that reminds you of a peaceful dream. Each person I came across, from the airport customer service representative to my Uber driver. Everyone was so nice and jovial. Phoenix is as beautiful as it is hot. If you’re visiting in the summertime, please pack your sunscreen, handheld fan, comfortable clothes and water. But, I definitely plan to come back to visit and stay for a longer time.

We never left the resort...and why would we! Everything we possibly could have wanted was right there. We had brought along cards and various board games, snacks and water to have in our room, Of course, the company (my children) was outstanding! This is a fantastic resort that has courteous and attentive employees. The grounds are immaculate, and the villas are extraordinary. My family had an absolutely amazing time. Staying in a spotless, impeccably decorated, large villa, with enough space to play games, cook, or watch a movie (all while another person took a nap) made for the perfect little vacation. We loved the water slides and lazy river. My highest recommendation goes to the Arizona Grand Resort and Water Park!

I wanted to be near Mermaid Maid stadium - it was great, less than 10 minutes walk from hotel. Reception staff were helpful and friendly BUT my Hilton points did not get credited - strange. Will log missing points with Hilton. I was on a tight schedule for my flight and restaurant staff WAS very good and acknowledged that and took my order when it opens from 3pm -- THANK YOU !!!!!

We were entertaining grandkids so looked for activities that they would enjoy. The Arizona Boardwalk was an excellent choice. There were a lot of activities if a little expensive. The Organ Stop in Mesa was a major hit with our kids. A bicycle ride along a desert trail yielded some spotted wildlife. The kids enjoyed seeing a roadrunner and a rattle snake especially. Traffic is horrible but I was expecting worse. The water park was also a big hit. It is connected to the Hilton resort.

Phoenix is a great city. Restaurants are wonderful. Lots to do in the museum district with its parks, exhibitions, and friendly people. It's better staying downtown. Definitely avoid the airport area as this is not safe. Grand Canyon is wonderful but a +4 hour drive.
