biddingforhotel Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Then I come back to extend one day today because, for some reason, after numerous bids could not get anything anywhere within 100 miles of drive just like last time, Priceline seems to have very mean computer program, the BIG BROTHER program to monitor us. Anyway, they would not let me extend to today unless I DOUBLE the price!!!! The feeling is like all supermarket within 100 miles ran out of milk, and you have to come back to this particular one that want you to pay TWICE the price ... Link to comment
biddingforhotel Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Now I know why it seems so crowd here.

biddingforhotel Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 The room is very nice and comfortable, and they gives you nice homemade big cookies; the a/c is very cool. There was minor problem, but their engineer came fix right away!The tennis court and basketball court are very nice too with outdoor pool next to them. There is also an indoor swimming pool, very nice too. Link to comment
biddingforhotel Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Too bad! Just got a traffic violation ticket from New Brunswick Police Department. It seemed they had a traffic light camera at the intersection of Easton (Rt 527) and Park Ave very close to this hotel on the way to New Brunswick downtown. Be aware.$85 plus $2 convenience fee total; so the saving on staying at this hotel all "donated" to New Brunswick ... :) Link to comment
