Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Long Island-Nassau (Glen Cove-Oyster Bay) Harrison CC

[dahammer]

started bidding for a 3* in the Nassau County area and accessed the Priceline site through savingsbarn.com. Selected 3* in the Bethpage - Melville zone and bid $89, rejected. Added Glen Cove-Oyster Bay (yes, the same one from the Billy Joel song :) ), increased the bid to $95, rejected. Added Wesbury and increased my bid to $101, rejected. I closed my browser, then re-opened my bidding at the 2.5* level, bid $75, Success :)

Your Offer Price: $75.00

Taxes & Service Fees: $16.66

Total Charges: $91.66

From the Harrison Glen Cove Website:

196 richly appointed guest rooms, including 4 suites

Guest rooms feature a desk and two telephones with voice mail and dataports

Garden Room serving lavish buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner; private dining and theme events

The Pub for cocktails and snacks; game tables, large-screen TV, billiards, table-tennis

Fitness center, sauna, steam and massage rooms, glass-enclosed swimming pool and whirlpool, racquetball courts, bowling alley, lighted tennis courts, garden swimming pool, jogging trail, sports field

Looks like this has been downgraded from 3*. The normal rate is $159 plus tax(es) making the "walk out" price $177. Maybe I can put the savings towards dinner at the Great Neck outpost of Peter Luger's, but I'm not sure if $85 will cover dinner for one :o

Thanks for the update on the hotel rating.

Hopefully you were serious re: Peter Luger's... a steak eater such as yourself should never be so close and not go.

Enjoy your stay.

I understand that it's better to get the steak for two with a dining companion, it is a huge porterhouse that is grilled to perfection then sliced, add a side of creamed spinach and fried potatoes, a couple of Manhatttans.........bliss.......... :)
