Back 40 #23910 L Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Having never been to Winter Range, I'm looking for hotel information from those that have. I see the WR website has several to offer but can someone advise which is best. Looking for something cheap to mid priced that will accommodate 3 shooters. Nothing fancy, just a roof over our head. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 No matter where you pick to stay, DO NOT leave anything in your parked car you're not prepared to loose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 40, Sent you a PM and MM is correct, especially for those motels with poor reviews. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonesoms Al SASS37893 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 40, I get on Hotwire.com and find hotels on the north end of Phoenix. So far I've had pretty good luck and you can pick how much you want to spend. I try to pick a 3 or 4 star then you know it's a decent hotel.Hope to see you there and with any luck we might be on the same possee. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_of_Hearts Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 We have always had good luck with Red Roof. 15 minutes to the range and just enough off the freeway to be quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Belle Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Back 40, I'm going with RJ. Get ahold of one of us. I think he said we're like 5 or 6 miles from the range. P.W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackaroo, # 29989 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 40, we've stayed at the Extended Stay and Studio 6 and never had any problems. We're booked at the Extended Stay this year and you get a self contained unit with full kitchen facilities. A family unit would be good if there's 3 of ya.

Slick McClade Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I've stayed at Red Roof on bell road for years now. Great access short 15 min drive to range and room rate is very good. This year we just rented a house close to the range, simply for more room. Slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Scratch Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Studio 6 is clean, mini kitchen, safe parking and a fraction of the price for a room Scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackaroo, # 29989 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Just changed my reservation to Studio 6 from Extended stay, cheaper too. They still have rooms available for the WR dates, rooms are all renovated and clean, we stayed there this year and had no problems, ground floor room, park outside the door.

Cat Brules Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The gang-types KNOW when the large matches are being held and they'll prowl in groups of 2-5 of them, cruising nearby hotels looking at likely target vehicles to break into. SASS stickers or any political stuff stuck to your vehicle makes it a target. Keep your truck box empty, moving the stuff into your room. Obviously, they're looking for weapons, ammo, tools, clothing, misc. gear and other valuables....anything portable they can steal. Don't drink too much and get too tired to empty the vehicle into your room every single time. DON'T allow the housekeepers to go into your room during your stay unless you are in the room with them. Put a sign on your door to keep out. Keep your weapons and cases covered with blankets or tarps at all times, even inside your room. Refresh your linen and supplies yourself from their carts outside, or go to the office to get them Get extra towels and supplies from the housekeepers, and tip them generously (it really is best to not mess with the office). Stay alert and report suspicious activity to the police and the hotel office immediately. Don't let your women exit the room alone at night, even if they're just going to the car. Do not "go after" anyone, anytime, especially with a weapon. But, you have to decide all the previous yourself, to whatever level suits you.

Grizzly Dave Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Have stayed at the Red Roof twice including this year and have found it to be a decent place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Folks that have stayed at Studio 6, in non smoking rooms is there any oder of smoke? Wife is allergic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 My wife and I have used the Extended Stay. The kitchen is useful and there is plenty of room for carts and guns. You don't get daily maid service and that improves security. However, I am concerned about the number of recent, negative reviews for this property. I'm not going to WR this year and will check the reviews next year before booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I take reviews with a grain of salt. Some for the Red Roof were supposedly for dates when I was staying there for WR, and I sure didn't see what they were complaining about. I did just book the Studio 6, it will save me almost 200 bucks over the red roof, though will be harder to get on and off the highway. With the wife still out of work it will be pushing it to just go so every penny helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Graham, # 26112 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hampton Inn in Anthem is very close. Less than 10 minutes (I do it in 7) from 1st gate into BA. Little off the beaten path, less crime, more like a small town even though it's so close to Phoenix. The main part of the town is on the other side of the freeway from the hotel, straight shot on over pass and there's great place to eat called Legends in the Safeway shopping center along with Mexican, Thai and the best donut shop in the world. Walmart and the outlet mall on same side as hotel in case you need to shop for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
