2011-10-17T11:25:00.000-07:00

Scottsdale, Arizona is not only known for amazing landmarks like Spring Training, the Phoenix Zoo and it's close proximity to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport; it is regarded as a corporate capital for many Fortune 500 companies.

There are several Extended Stay Hotels in Scottsdale, AZ that you can choose from. If you are only staying a few weeks, probably any hotel will do. But for those temporarily relocated to Scottsdale - you need to find something suitable for a longer term stay.

Here's a few basics about Temporary Relocation: Finding an Extended Stay in Scottsdale

1) Ask for a "Corporate Discount"

2) If you are staying for at least 30+ days, you get a tax break, paying only 1.65%, instead of a Hotel tax for under 30 days which is 14.92%.

This savings may give you some extra budget to work with in choosing an Extended Stay Hotel

3) Most Extended Stay Hotels have a mini sized kitchen which is virtually impossible to cook a decent meal in. Make sure to request a Full Size Kitchen.

An Extended Stay Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ that fills all of these important requirements is Scottsdale Park Suites. Their furnished one bedroom suites are equipped with a full sized kitchen, private entrance and patio or balcony. Find yourself nestled in this gated community, enjoying the green courtyards, heated pool/spa and tennis for one low, affordable price.
