You guys, it’s summer. It’s really, really summer.
And while we can walk around for one more weekend – a long weekend at that – and enjoy cooler temps, there’s no longer any point in pretending it isn’t going to get hot and soon.
But that’s a-ok – it means staycations and pool parties and maybe, if you can swing it, a real vacation too.
So just where to take that overnight bag for a weekend in your own city?
We’ve got the lovely Hotel Palomar rolling out  deeply discounted room rates at $102 a night which includes a round of beers for four at Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails (use rate code: BREW).
Or, if the family is in tow, rates start at $124 and include two children’s tickets to the Children’s Museum of Phoenix or the Arizona Science Center (Rate code: PFAM). To reserve, visit www.hotelpalomar-phoenix.com or call 602-253-6633.
If you want to make your staycation last a bit longer, The Westin Phoenix Downtown Hotel has a new Westin Weekends program that gives you a complimentary third night’s stay if you book two weekend nights. To make a reservation, call -800-937-8461 and mention “Complimentary Night,” or visit www.westin.com/weekends.
If you have your plans together already, book at The Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel before May 30 for rates at 30% off starting at $119 a night and kids eat free. Book online or call 866-716-8147 and ask for rate plan CC0APKG.
Finally, if brews and music is more your cup of tea, check out the Notes ‘N Ale package at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown.
