Hotel Valley Ho charges no resort fee, and The Scott's $60 nightly resort fee includes parking

Winter into spring is when Old Town charges the most. Experience Scottsdale puts December through February at peak and says March still carries peak pricing. Rates ease in April and May. June to early September is the floor, with summer rates up to 60 percent off in some cases, and October and November are the shoulder before holiday traffic builds. Highs run in the mid-100s from June through August, against the mid-60s in December and the upper 70s in March, so the cheap months are the hot ones.

Late January through mid-March is the stretch to skip. Barrett-Jackson and the WM Phoenix Open both fall in it, and Cactus League spring training is scheduled to start in February. Weekends get loud near the REMI and Senna House, which sit by the clubs.

Scottsdale's lodging tax is about 13.97 percent, and The Scott's itemized night charged it on the resort fee as well as the room. The Marriott's one-night quote included a $25 Destination Fee and the REMI's a $40 one. Caesars Republic prints a $30 mandatory charge per night, and The Scott a $60 nightly resort fee. Hotel Valley Ho says it charges none, and the screens at six others showed none. Of the hotels that list a price, parking costs the most at the REMI, $55 a day, and the least at the Courtyard, $15. The Scott folds it into its $60. The free Scottsdale Trolley runs every 20 minutes, but only Monday to Friday, 5:45 a.m. to 7:45 p.m., with no weekend service listed. The free Sky Train at Sky Harbor links to light rail, which serves Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa.
