Where to Stay:

It can be tough deciding the best place to stay in a city you may not have been to before. Wherever you plan to stay, Scottsdale is only 15 minutes from the Phoenix airport and in the world of new technology, it isn’t hard to locate an Uber anywhere you need to go.

Airbnb’s can be a cheaper and often better option for bachelorette groups. Airbnb’s can typically accommodate larger group sizes where you have your own space and freedom to relax. For those with a pool, you can bring your own food and beverages and don’t have to worry about other guests. Turn up the speaker and have that dance party!
