Oro Valley, Arizona (Tucson Area) - Wingate by Wyndham - Oro Valley / Tucson North

Reader Patrick has a good eye for BRGs! ... He sent us another great free room opportunity! Believe me, this is in an area we don't often have any luck finding them! He received a confirmed approval in March, but told us dates in April appear to work as well.

The hotel is a brand new Wingate which just opened a few months ago, located in the northern suburbs of Tucson (under 15 miles away). Now at first I did a Kayak search, but couldn't find any competitor rate. I then went to Orbitz directly and noticed that they were indeed lower! Checking this hotel out would be well worth the effort!

The rate difference MAY be visible by searching Kayak.
If not, please conduct a manual search on both sites!
