Forgot to mention hotels in my earlier reply.
Embassy Suites Biltmore is quite nice. Last rate I paid was around $99US. Included cook-to-order breakfast and happy hour. Avoid the Embassy Suites Airport... it is the worst Embassy Suites that I have ever visited.
Hilton Suites Downtown is quite nice, but it is downtown. Haven't stayed there in a while, and don't know the rates.
Westin Buttes is ok. I've stopped staying there as I was just getting more and more dissatisfied with the accomodations.
For the Grand Canyon and Williams, have you thought about a Bed and Breakfast?
http://mi-casa.org/azmap.html will give you a map of Arizona that you can use to find some of these.
Suggest avoiding Garcia's, as recommended above. Some of them are VERY GOOD; however, others are
VERY BAD. If you like Chinese food, Wangs in Tempe and Gilbert are both good.
Finally, if you have time, get an Entertainment book for Phoenix at
www.entertainment.com. You will more than save the $35 with the restaurant coupons, alone. I've never used for hotels, so I don't know how well they do there.
