joespud Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Posted November 1, 2010 I did use the BetterBidding.com link for Priceline.Some feedback on the hotel:1) It is literally beside the World Trade Center former site. As a result, the daytime noise due to the ongoing construction was quite strong even on the 34th floor. The hotel did provide ear plugs and offered a free white noise generator.On the weekend morning (Saturday 10/30), the noise level from the construction was fine but the room I was given apparently was right beside some type of vacuum system in the hotel. Or at least, there was the sound of a vacuum cleaner in an adjoining room for 3 hours straight...2) The hotel is quite decent - amenities were excellent, room was large and well appointed. However, for some reason I was only given 1 tiny bar of soap - no bath gel even though the amenities were otherwise very nice (shower cap, mouth wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion)3) The hotel stuck me for $30 extra in order to get 2 beds. I didn't mind this time as they also allowed me to check in at 11 am on 10/29. This was despite my calling the day before to request 2 beds - so makes me wonder if this is a standard policy4) The hotel location is really great. Literally steps to the 'R' subway as well as a very short block to the 4/5/6 subways. The access is also via very short stairs - which allowed the use of the 'R' subway to get over the bridge to Queens Plaza for a short cab ride to LaGuardia.Overall not bad - the main concern would be the noise.
