We frequently book our hotel stays through Priceline or Hotwire. It is infuriating when you arrive to check in at some of the places and they charge you a "resort fee". You have no way of comparison shopping when they quote one rate for the room online and tack on surprise fees at the desk. I was very impressed when the nice clerk at The Scottsdale Plaza resort front desk informed us that the fee was waived for Priceline guests. That's a first! It shows respect for the guest and it demonstrates the integrity and honesty of the hotel's management practices. As for our stay we are happy to report that the grounds are beautiful and our room was above average. Not quite the 4-star level stated on Priceline, but certainly nice. I would be content to stay there again.
