Priceline Hotel: 3* Newark - Meadowlands (Secaucus - North Bergen) Courtyard Meadowlands Secaucus

YES AGAIN ! :)

First bid $55 was accepted figuring likely get same property, as I said hard to imagine it cheaper.

A note about the construction -- it looks to be confined to the lobby and breakfast area. Basically there is no lobby, the breakfast area is in the temporary front desk area. The front of the hotel has a dumpster and big pile of earth. Entrance is around back through parking garage. The normal guest elevators are out of commission and the only elevator is a single service elevator and its dreadfully slow.

So if you wanted to meet clients here, probably look elsewhere. HOWEVER, my ROOM was brand-spanking-new, except the tub needed to be "re-enameled". The only thing missing was that new wallpaper glue and carpet smell (thank goodness, don't care for that). It appeared as if everything including the heat/ac, furniture, bed, sink had just been upgraded (e.g. replaced). I am guessing all the rooms are now renovated and the only thing left is the lobby. Front desk (wearing overcoats and gloves due to the proximity to the only door to the place) said, they didn't expect it to be done until early March. So would not be surprised if deals are still to be had here for another month or so. . .also would not be shocked if this hotel is sold in the interim, just seems that's the way things work in that industry.

Used the PRICELINE widget above to start my bidding. Total including fees was $71.
