Welcome to BetterBidding :)

I'm sorry to say that a 3* property with this amenitie combo has not yet been reported/ID'd to the board.

But if you change your search to 3 adults is there a 3*, $77, W/Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry. This is a match for the Crowne Plaza.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase, and let us know how it goes or if you need any additional help with your stay.

PS. Please follow-up this thread with whatever you end up doing, even if you chose to book direct, cancell your trip, etc.

I changed my search to 3 adults the same trip and ended up getting the Crowne Plaza for $77/night.

Thank you for your help!

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received a nice deal on this property and are happy with the results. Half of the rooms at this property have a (distant) city view... while not "up close" you may be able to see the NYC fireworks (again, in the distance) from one of the rooms which faces the city as the fireworks display will be on the Hudson River (west side) again this year.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.

I wanted some advice from anyone who has experienced similar.

I called the hotel directly to request a king size bed but they told me that they don't have any available for the duration of my trip. I just went on Crowne Plaza's website to try to book a stay for my dates and I came upon 1 KING BED WHEELCHAIR ACCESS NONSMOKING bedroom (this is the same price a standard room). Should I call back the hotel and let them know that I see availability for king size beds? Now I know that when I booked the room

Thank you

You can try that... although it's a handicapped room so:

1) there may be other aspects of the room that you don't like (lower door handle, potentially no tub in bathroom, 'open' floor shower, etc

2) the hotel likely needs to hold these rooms for guests who have mobility or other issues

room assignments are determined at check in. I would call the hotel to note your room preference and late morning on the day of check in, call and request a king room. You should also provide your Priority Club number as well, if you don't belong, then join up for free.

PS, a very nice rate for this property. There is a NJ Transit bus stop on Meadowlands Blvd. about a block away, the front desk will have schedules. There is also a little deli nearby that sells beer, wine and spirits.
