Property: JW Marriott Camelback Inn
Date(s): August 2 nights
Room booked: Resort Casita (lowest room type)
Room received: Bi-level Suite
Elite Level: Titanium
Award stay: No
Rate Type: Resort Credit package
LNF stay: No
SNAs redeemed: Yes
Comments: SNAs applied about 36 hours prior to arrival. Great deal. $169/night with $50 night resort credit. The bi-level suites are unrenovated, which is a plus in my book, as the recent renovations are a travesty. Pool of good rooms at this property is currently quite limited due to ongoing renovations.
