I've got a trip coming up in just over a week. I can get the Sheraton Crescent for $89-99/night or the Four Points Metrocentre at $59-79/night ($weekend-$weekday). Is the Sheraton Crescent that much better to pay $20-30 more per night? Also, are there any thoughts as to whether or not I should pay an extra $20 for Club Level at the Crescent?

I was thinking of trying a few of the Phoenix area hotels during my week-long stay so I could post a Phoenix Hotels trip report with photos for all of you. Any others that you'd like to have compared in the mix if I can manage to find reasonable rates? Thanks.

don't know about either, but where did you get those rates from!?? Ive only been able to get rates almost 2x those. Was hoping to stay at the 4 Pts around 2/22

These are pretty much across the interstate from each other. I've been in both; the Sheraton crescent is much larger, seems to operate largely off of it's conference facilities. The 4 Points was converted from something else a couple of years ago, and seems to be newly remodeled. I would check the websites to compare amenities.

Location-wise, neither has the cache of any number of properties in Scottsdale, or of the Hilton resort properties. If all you want is a room with quick access to the highway, either should be fine. If you would like to be adjacent to a decent shopping mall with theaters, choose the 4 Points.

I live in the area of the hotels; if I can give you more info regarding what's nearby, drop me a note.

The Crescent is a great hotel, and I would highly recommend it but I do not know the 4 Points. The Crescent is a classic property, not the the capital C sense, but in the late 60's sense. Very well maintained and great rooms. You cannot go wrong there.
