Traveling on a budget does not mean skimping on quality or even staying in a dump. In Phoenix, there are a few hotels that are real bargains because not only is the room a great price, but many offer vacation packages. So, no longer does a "budget hotel" mean sacrificing yourself in a bad neighborhood with a poor quality room, when high- style boutique hotels at great prices await you.

-Fairfield Inn-

This beautiful hotel completed renovation in 2006 to include a sparkling outdoor pool and hot tub. Each room comes fully equipped with free high-speed Internet access. Don't worry about missing a workout because Fairfield Inn has arranged with 24 Hour Fitness for guests to use their amenities. Here at Fairfield Inn, guests do not have to suffer through a common continental breakfast again. Continental breakfast includes Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches, fresh fruit and a Waffle Station, all complimentary for guests.

-Grace Inn-

Grace Inn features the Spanish charm that is so prominent in Arizona, which makes this rather large hotel somehow fit into the landscape. In a lush courtyard setting with Spanish fountains and tile, Grace Inn is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life. What makes this a great budget hotel is the vacation packages they have to offer; all themed and inclusive for your relaxation and enjoyment.

-Hotel San Carlos-

With superior South-western hospitality, the Hotel San Carlos is the only boutique style hotel in the center of downtown Phoenix. With the unusual happenings, reported haunting, and deep-rooted history, visitors cannot only get a place to rest their heads but also learn about Arizona's colorful history. There are 3 on-site restaurants that will be sure to please anyone palette, from a steakhouse and saloon, an Irish pub, or a gourmet coffee shop and caf to choose from. While one may not think of a boutique hotel as classified as "budget", it is budget friendly to offer all-inclusive packages that even include meals.
