Thats why every year i book a couple of rooms a year in advance using points that are refundable. Did it last year in NY, but blew it off last minute because of weather. But this year looks like it I'll be in Phoenix. Might have an extra room at the Aloft..

I have kept refining my reservations all of which been using points. I now have

• 3 nights Renaissance Phoenix which is in the middle of Super Bowl Central
• 3 nights HIX Glendale which is walking distance to stadium

So I will be downtown midweek and in Glendale for the weekend. It is a nice mix.

I also have 4 nights at RI Glendale (will probably cancel if friends do not use) and just cancelled 4 nights at HIX Scottsdale.

I was looking for Starwood to have a moments event at the Waste Managment open that week but they have not done it yet so it is doubtful. They did it last year.

Rooms have not been that hard to get if using Marriott or IHG points.

If anyone is still looking for a place to stay for the Super Bowl:

Can I rent my garage out for $1000 a night? I've got an old cargo van in the driveway. I think it has a carpeted floor. $500 a night? ;)

Thanks. I have some friends to lean on but don't won't to unless the seahawks are playing.
