Priceline Hotel: 3* Poughkeepsie - Fishkill (Fishkill) Hyatt House Fishkill/Poughkeepsie

[CrazyOne]

This is just going to get lost in the sea of NYC posts ;) but needed a room on that Wednesday before Thanksgiving because can't quite make the drive all the way to Boston when leaving in the afternoon. (Not interested in arriving at 12-1am.)

Some info that helped me home in on a price: $63 3* available at Hotwire, $56 3* available on PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals and I was pretty sure it would be Hyatt House because they had the cheapest going rate for 3*. The rate for knowing beforehand was $98 + tax so this saved at least $40 off that and got down into the price range of lesser lodgings. That's all I am usually looking for, better quality at the rate of the cheapo place. Not sure if I hit this a little too soon, but I thought there could be a little squeeze for rooms on the night before Thanksgiving. Maybe not though.

Priceline has given me the "add nights for the same rate" link so this rate should be good at least the next day and maybe a couple days. I bid $45, $48, $50 so it's within $1 of whatever the best rate would be with my bidding tonight. This is my second attempt at bidding for this trip. (No luck on my Harrisburg for first Sat in Nov yet though, 3rd or 4th attempt. Probably just trying to be too cheap.)

Will be interested to try this out, Hyatt House is a fairly new brand. If the pictures on some sites are any indication, this one began life as Sierra Suites, which is a brand that Hyatt bought last year before announcing it (and their already owned Summerfield Suites) would be grouped into Hyatt House and expanded that way. This is their extended stay format, along the lines of Residence Inn or Homewood Suites I guess. Although this location shows some standard rooms that are lacking the full kitchen, etc. No matter, it should be fine for the night.

Room Subtotal: $50.00

Taxes: $6.74

Fees: $8.27

Total Charged to Card: $65.01
