Priceline Hotel: 2* Newark - Meadowlands (Meadowlands - Rutherford) Extended Stay America - Meadowlands - East Rutherford

[dahammer]

Made a same day bid and won the Extended Stay America, rack rate was $90, so I was pleased with the result.

Room Cost $49.00

Taxes and Fees $15.16

Total Charges $64.16

Made my bids using BetterBidding's WinAlerts app which lets me check HOTWIRE, PRICELINE, and Hotels.com rates.

I was offered to stay another night at the same rate. This property is adjacent to the former Sheraton, now a Hilton hotel and across the highway from Met life stadium. The location and proximity to NYC is good, but there is no public transportation nearby, so having a car is a must. Extended Stay hotels cater to long term guests, so you don't get daily maid service and the room is rather spartan. But each room is outfitted with a two burner stove, refrigerator, microwave, so it's almost like a small apartment. The room has a queen sized bed and getting a two bed suite would be up to the discretion of the check in clerk. The hotel seemed empty and I believe that long term road warriors were not traveling due to the approaching Christmas Holiday. There is a grab and go breakfast offered which consists of coffee, tea, instant oatmeal, muffins, and granola bars. I really can't think of a better value for those seeking ultra low priced accommodations for a short trip to the NYC area.

Don't think of staying here during the Super Bowl, rates have not been set yet, but they will be sky high.
