  1. Actually I meant when you click on Amenties, the last letter in Pool is cut off.
  2. You might want to fix that amenties listing for the Warwick...unless it really has an Indoor Poo
  3. Was trying to bid for a 3* at Space Needle for $150 but no go. So I got the Warwick for $170 a night on PRICELINE EXPRESS Listed on the PRICELINE EXPRESS Swimming Pool Fitness Center Business Center Restaurant I was worried that this hotel wouldn't have internet but it does..phew. Lists for $306 in the normal area of PRICELINE So I think I made out getting a $306 hotel for $170. And yes I used the board links to PRICELINE to start the bid Oh, BTW this hotel does NOT appear on your lists for Space Needle.
  4. Restaurant Fitness Center Free Parking Airport Shuttle Business Center Bed Choice Available.
  5. Was trying to get the 3* (I assume it was Millennium Hotel) for $140 and $145 , but since both failed I just paid $152 (161 - 9 for the coupon SUMMER14) for the PRICELINE EXPRESS deal Not sure about this Hotel as it isn't listed under Anchorage at all. But lets hope for the best
  6. Yes , it was hotwire. Amenties were very Sparse Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access But they treated us nice (Only bad thing was they ran out of King beds) and it was a good place. Gym is open 24 hours.
  7. I'm a bit bummed as Priceline was showing a 3.5* for $148 and the only 3.5* they list is the Marriott. But I'm happy! And yes I used the links above.
  8. I didn't like the Morgan Bay in Del Mar because of all the bad reviews it got (Though it was only about $70) So I went for 3.5* and ended up with a 4*...nice Says $127 on HOTWIRE and $149 on PRICELINE right now. And yes I used the PRICELINE links above to bid.
  9. Can someone help me ID this hotel? I think it's either the 3* Doubletree (previously 3.5*) Or 3* Morgan Run Resort and Club The resort thing makes me think Morgan but I was hoping someone here could confirm.

  10. It appears no one has reviewed this hotel in about 3 years. Arrived before Easter 2011. Very nice Hotel. Parking was $26 (Yikes!) and on the last day one of the garage elevators broke. (only 1 working). Internet was $9.95 for personal and $12.95 for high speed but if you sign up as a Gold Member at the desk you get the internet for free. Interior is incredible. Like in a museum. Most of the staff were friendly, I did encounter a front desk person who was a little out of it (out of the 5 times I went there). My tower (There were 2 ) had 6 elevators. No waiting for up! (Down was another story..hehe) Pros Room was incredibly huge. Asked for a rollaway bed and it fit neatly between bed and wall and did not reduce the space available (Made getting into that side of the bed a bit of a leap). Nice view of pool and Seaport village. Nice set of channels on TV (24 I think) Cons (Note: Even though there are cons, the hidden 'pros' outweigh it). Neighbors LOVED to party. Each night I had a different 'noisy' neighbor roaming the halls and the door bottom does not seal out the noise. Bathroom does not have an internal fan. (I will not go into more detail as most of you know what I mean). Housekeeping staff was a bit lazy. Forgot to give new soaps on day 2, and didn't even clean the room at 5:30PM (Had to call in). We NEVER had our coffee cups (Which are served in a surprising paper version) Noteable Things Nearby Is next to Seaport Village. Closest hotel to it. Richard Walkers Pancake house - $20 per person 3 blocks away. 20 Minute wait in line. Ralphs Supermarket - 4 Blocks away Busters Restaurant - next door in Seaport village. Kansas City BBQ - Home of a scene of Top Gun. Trolley Stop - Every 20 mins and for $5 you can go around most of SD like Old Town, Both Stadiums and SDSU. Note it does not stop at the Zoo , Sea World, or Wild Animal park. So all in all 4* solid. If they soundproofed the rooms and fix the housekeeping staff, it would've been a 5*
  11. Wow that took me a while! (Yes I used the PRICELINE links above) I kept moving my bid area around and was HOPING for DANA for $68 that people got there but alas, I gave up and went for the 4* Started with Coastal 65 - Failed Add Old Town 70 - Failed Add Coronado 71 - Accepted (From Old Town). Haven't seen the reviews yet for this hotel, hope its good
  12. Used the links here and thank you Better Bidding for Saving me over $150 per night! Hilton is currently listed as $219 on Orbitz.
  13. Here's my review from going the Crowne Plaza first week of Aug 2008. IMHO I think it is a 3 star and not a 3.5 Star. Hotel Staff - Excellent! Hotel Room - Good Shuttle - Fast and Friendly Location - Perfect. Dining room staff - Very friendly. Food service is normal speed. Breakfast in the morning is average, nothing special. Maintenance Staff (Cleaning / Repair) - Poor Internet - Wireless ($9.95/night) Ok read blindman's review as it is more complete but I will offer a few changes. If you can, get a room that faces New York. The view at night is nice (Direct view of Empire State), and the sun will wake you up in the morning. There are 2 buses at the stop the 2 (To Jersey City) and the 129 (To NY Port Authority). To go to NY the bus is every 30 or 60 minutes and will cost you $2.55 and take about 20-30 minutes. This is one the most convenient bus stops ever and while it servered 3 hotels nearby it was closest to the Crowne Plaza. I really recommend you leave the hotel before 10am. Anytime after that you will have 20-40 people from the hotel waiting at that bus stop and it will be standing room only. The 129 bus is fairly large and will support suitcases below (just open the hatch) Port Authority is in Times Square and from there you can catch the Tour buses or the NYEAS to JFK ($15) Also Port Authority is a small mall in it's own right, and there is a little breakfast deli in the center (It's orange but I forget the name right next to the post office) that had breakfast sandwiches for $3 made right there on the spot. Why did I rate the Maintenance poor? Well because it is. The room we were given had a broken lamp and desk and despite 3 calls (over 3 days) to maintenance they did not fix it. (They finally transferred us to a new room). Each time I found a fault with Maintenance / Cleaning (From missing newspapers to missing amenities) but each time it wasn't a big deal, it just added up after a while. For the late night snackers I would recommend asking the front desk for the Local Pizza place (Angilos? I think). I loved their Stromboli sandwich and they deliver (takes 45 minutes). Beware of their Sicilian pizza as it was very large and I could not eat it all. (It's thick and square). The Priority club is in a great location but the selection has gone down a bit (no more waffles) but free Sodas at night with the Beer and Wine. To get here from JFK, just go to the NYEAS buses ($15) to Port Authority (1hr 15min) and from there take the 129 (Gate 318) to the Crowne Plaza stop (Just ask the driver to announce it which he will probably anyhow - 20-30mins $2.55).
