The charts “Which days have the lowest hotel rates?”, “Which month has the best hotel rates?”, “How far in advance should I book?” and “How much do hotels cost by star rating?” are built from the nightly rates Priceline customers actually paid for hotels in Phoenix, grouped by check-in month, day of the week, how far ahead they booked (up to 90 days) and the hotel’s star class.
Where a place has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from nearby places with similar prices and fit it to the rates booked here.
Because past rates don’t reflect today’s market, each chart is then fitted to the rates found in this page’s current search: its value at the search’s own check-in month, day and booking lead time is set to the current good-deal rate.
The Good to Know deal cards and the hotels listed on this page come directly from that recent search, not from historical bookings.
