TimoCruz Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hey..My first time posting on this forum, so forgive me if I ask some pretty simple questions. First of all, would any of you know why hotels are so expensive between these dates. I don't know whats going on in the area, maybe some conferences??With that said, I was looking around for available options to stay in NJ with easy access to NYC. I got a list of hotels from friends and family and all their options were $150+, which is just too much. I came across this deal on HotWire.com:Secaucus - Meadowlands area hotel Super savings†CAD159 other sites*CAD72.52per room, per nightPrices this low require us to hide the name until right after you book.Our 2.5-star hotels include: Holiday Inn Express Hotels Clarion Hotels Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts La Quinta Inns Quality Inns Days InnsAmenities:Free Parking, Free Breakfast, Free Internet, Pet friendly, Indoor pool(s)See all amenitiesRecommended:In 85% of Hotwire customer reviews.Would anyone here possibly know what hotel this would be. I want to ensure that there is easy access to NYC. This is my first time going there and don't want to be stuck having to take a taxi to the subway station or to a shuttle bus just to get to NYC. Other friends and family have told me that there hotel had shuttle buses right outside. It seems like a solid price based on the rates going around. Any help would be appreciated.

thereuare Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Please post only the amenity names (and not the descriptions) as you can see how much easier it is to read and helps minimize the chance that we'll miss an amenity when researching your trip.2.5-star Hotel in Secaucus - MeadowlandsFree Parking Complimentary Breakfast Free Internet Pet Friendly Indoor Pool Pool Restaurant Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking The La Quinta Inn and Suites Clifton has previously been seen with this amenity set so that would be my best guess for this one.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

TimoCruz Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks for the help!I actually just came across this in another post:Amenities Listed:Free Parking Free Breakfast Free Internet Pet friendly Indoor pool(s) Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet Access Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking It looks fairly similar to whats posted above for this deal. But, there are some differences in the way its written. If both were for the La Quinta INN would they have the amneties written in the exact same manner? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 The amenities do not have to be in the same order or written in the same manner. The LQ is the only 2.5* that has been reported to the board in this zone with these amenities.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
