rayrios16 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Posted September 12, 2010 Got this hotel after trying to get a 3+ star in the many Downtown areas with no success for up to $175 a night.Added re-bid zones in several areas until finally adding 2 stars hotels and got this property at $150.Total with taxes came up to $189.Hotel seems nice and very comfortable, so i am very happy with the selection.I used the PRICELINE link provided in this forum.I don't think this hotel has been previously reported on the board. It even didn't show up on Priceline's retail hotel's list.

roboron Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 I stayed at the Desmond Tutu Center a couple of times. It's a little out of the way but it's a very nice property. Rooms are modern and tasteful after a remodel about 2-3 years ago. Very quiet and friendly (it's actually a religious conference center so don't expect any wild parties) with a incredible continental breakfast (salmon, pastries, etc.) in a beautiful renovated, gigantic chapel. Make sure you don't get a room on the ground floor as it's sidewalk level and a bit dark. Hopefully it hasn't changed too much in the past couple of years. I'm really surprised it's a 2 star property. I would probably give it a 3 at least. It is far on the West but easy enough if you take the crosstown bus to get to the subway station (we walked it mostly).
paulyr Posted September 15, 2010 Report Posted September 15, 2010 I concur with Roboron. I stayed there once after their renovation as well. It was a great deal I found on Quikbook. Listing themselves as a 2*?! Do they not want to be on Priceline?I will never bid on a 2* hotel. I learned that the hard way.
