dahammer Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 hotel rates are dependant on a number of factors, do you have specific dates, a budget per night and a minimum star rating that you will accept? Since you're not from the area, how far from Ramsey will you commute to get a good deal? How many hotel changes are you willing to make? Link to comment

dahammer Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I just did a HOTWIRE search for the dates of travel you provided, there is a 2* for $55 with the following amenity: Laundry. While this has not been confirmed, its possible that this could be the Extended Stay America in Upper Saddle River/Ramsey. The rack rate for this property is $89.99 per night. This single Laundry amenity is typical of the Extended Stay properties reported to this board. If you start a Priceline bid at the 2* level, there are several possibilities such as the Howard Johnson, Holiday Inn Express, and a few others that you may not be happy with for a lengthy stay. You'll also be near some of the best thin crust pizza in North Jersey: Kinchley's Tavern.Even if I was able to match up amenities with a property on the list, I wouldn't buy 14 nights without being positive. You may want to test the waters by checking a variety of dates to see if this listing comes up and then possibly buy one or two nights to gain the identity of the property, then proceed accordingly.Good luck, and if you proceed please use our HOTWIRE link :) Link to comment
prisha Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 thank u so much. i will definetly try your suggestion and link. it makes sense just to try a few nights before i jump. i will post what i find out. is it better to buy now or wait few more daysthanks Link to comment
dahammer Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 buy or wait...if I knew the answer to this, I would be trading on Wall Street :) Seriously, this is covered somewhere on the board, I just can't access it right now....but my guess is that $55 is as good as it gets for an Extended Stay property in this area, so I might just stick my toe in the water before jumping in all the way!! Again, no guarantees!good luck! Link to comment
