Wingate by Wyndham Oro Valley, Tucson North

Oro Valley, Arizona (Tucson Area)

The validity of this BRG is questionable, but since I've had success in the past with these "Weekly Rates", I'll list it here for you all to try. Basically, the catch here is that Reservetravel lists the discounted rates as a "weekly rate", but no where does it say that you must stay a minimum of 7 nights, and Reservetravel DOES allow one-night bookings. Therefore, this should go through easily (and like I said, I've done a BRG with this same scenario and was approved - but who knows what they think about these situations these days).

This is a newly built (grand opening soon!) hotel with every amenity imaginable, located north of Tucson in the suburb of Oro Valley. You're just minutes from the wilderness of Coronado National Forest and tons of other state parks. Downtown Tucson is under 15 miles away.
