"Find the airport on google maps, set the zoom to as far away as you are willing to be, enter "hotels" in the search box and you'll see what your options are."

I didn't know you could do that. That's a pretty cool feature.

There is no public transport to Gateway Airport. The nearest bus route stops half a mile away at ASU Polytechnic. I wouldn't try it.

There are some van shuttles that serve that airport, though:

There's a Hampton Inn going in right next door to the Hyatt. If it isn't open already, it should be within a few weeks. That might save some money compared to the Hyatt.

Thanks everyone!! I didn't know you could do that on Google... is there a way to sort them in order of shortest distance? I appreciate all your replies! We booked our tickets today. It will be nice to get away for a weekend!

Yup, just get directions via Google Maps to the hotel, and it will give you the shortest distance, shortest time, or other options depending on the route.

Flying into Gateway, then it is an absolute must to rent a car. The valley is just so spread out to get from place to place via public trans.

Thanks! We did decide to rent a car, just would be easier so we don't have to worry about trying to catch public trans. Hope we can navigate OK everywhere! Are google maps pretty reliable for directions?
