Going to be in NYC for a week (Floral Park area), usually stayed within city limits. What I want to know is, am I OK with just the simple 7 day Metro Card to get to and from Manhattan/Borough to Floral Park or do I need something more?
Leaving Elizabeth Street in Floral Park, Google has me jumping on a bus: "N24 Jamaica-Mineola- Roos," followed by getting on subway F, then E, then B. I don't see any mention of LIRR, only MTA the whole way.
Added reply, Yes, the hotel only has a Casino icon associated with it. Nothing else except for a 3.5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor it tells me.
Can you please add a reply to this thread with the details of the Top Secret hotel you purchased so we can then move this thread to the OTHER DEALS >> HOTELS section of the board... then once we accumulate more data we'll organize the Top Secret deals from Travelocity.Also, please note as per our support page that we're an affiliate of Travelocity... please check for and use the links there for your hotel direct purchases.
Thanks.
Hotel showed 2 star in Fridley w/ no smoking and high speed for $29. Booked it and it was the LivInn Suites Fridley. The same hits where shown for hotels in Burnsville and Maplewood which would also be the LivInn Suites in those cities. I've stayed at each and all are a great place and very much a steal at that price.
Doing a search for a place to crash the night of 9/22-9/23 and I get a $14 2.5* hit that shows Casino as the amenities. Ideas? Guesses? Thanks!
Thanks! Went with a Travelocity secret hotel.
My best guess: Super 8 St Paul/I-94.Please use this HOTWIRE link if you purchase and let us know what it is.
OK, unable to stay so never booked.
Looking on Hotwire and am getting a 2 star hotel coming back for Brooklyn Center/Coon Rapids area that lists High Speed and Breakfast for amenities. Any ideas what this may be?
Anyone have any thoughts as to which hotel this could be?
While perusing the HOTWIRE listings for Minneapolis/St. Paul on the dates of 5/20-5/23 it would appear that a $29 a night hotel room comes up that I'm curious about. The following amenities are listed: Breakfast, Workout Room, Laundry, and Golf. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts as to what this might be? Thank you!
Well thank you for all the help. Turns out through networking a coworker of mine's mother works for Choice Hotels and now I have access to the friends and family discount so this hotel is available to us for $39 a night:

So I'm going to be booking that shortly. Thank you again for all the help!
Excellent info which I'll have to look into. The dates we're settling on is 3/24-3/31 and we're open to 2 1/2 stars and up.
Just was looking into hotels on PRICELINE for the upcoming Spring Training in Phoneix 2010. Looking to go the last two weeks of March for a full week but dates are open for us pending what we could nail down at a decent rate.

Personally, I'd recommend staying in the Oakbrook/Downers Grove area - that area has some very nice hotels, and the fact that it has a lot of hotels/inventory often leads to better prices.
Much agreed, we snagged a 2 star extended stay hotel for $23 a night in the Downers Grove area a few months back. Just pends if your really concerned with having a high high standard of a hotel. But, I'm also the type who will also stay in a hostel if it's a decent price and quality place.
Well I went ahead anyways and booked and it was the LivInn Suites in Maplewood. Looks like a nice location as it sits right on a lake. Cheers!
Booked a nice cycle/drinking trip in Chicago for 2 nights 8/14-8/16 and wound up with this.
First bid was $59
Rebid @ $60
Rebid again @ $62 and locked in the Palmer House Hilton, never stayed here but looks very nice and fits our needs very well! Cheers!!
He he, sorry about that 8/27-8/29 I'm looking at staying.
Looking at a 2* on Hotwire for Woodbury/Oakdale Area and comes back with the following amenities:
Suite, High Speed, Tennis, Golf, Laundry. Any ideas? It fits the same description as the LiveInn Suites in another area of Minneapolis right down to the star rating. Is it possible to say this is the Livinn Suites in Maplewood which is in the area of Woodbury/Oakdale? Thanks!
Dates of stay are 7/2/09-7/4/09
Also forgot to add the listing did have Golf Nearby as one of the amenities.
Was looking to book a no frills hotel room for a few nights to take in a minor A baseball game in Appleton, WI. Checked through Hotwire and got back a $29 2* hotel with High Speed Internet, Continental Breakfast, and Fitness Center as the amenities. Made the purchase and ended up as Microtell Inn and Suites in Appleton. Happy with the results!
So I'm probably actually going to venture in and book a hostel. Theres a VERY nice one for what I'm willing to pay about 4 blocks from Petco Park. Thanks to everyone who helped!
Expedia
in Car Rental

Hey there, live in the states but had received a tip to check Expedia.ca for my travels to Phoenix to see if they had a lower price on car rentals then the US site. After conversion of Canadian dollars to US dollars, the price I'm saving on the car is big, if I'm stateside is it still alright to book through the Canadian Expedia to get the cheaper car rate in Phoenix?
