dahammer Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 How will you get to the hotel, will you have a car?Was the Saddle Brook - Hasbrouck Heights zone your first choice, or did you start bidding in another area?Can you please post your bidding history of bids that were rejected?

goldswoop Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Posted September 21, 2005 started 3* fort lee area @ $50, rejected, added saddlebrook @ $55.nice place?? typical business class fare?? have a car and will be commuting to upper east side.
thereuare Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 The hotel is a bit old and, at least from the outside, rundown looking.For your commute (assuming you're driving yourself into NYC) you will likely be taking the GW Bridge which will be a straight shot up Route 4, but if your schedule is flexible i wouldn't leave before 9:30 am as you will hit a LOT of traffic.One reco i've had to board members that are remotely in this area is try the chicken parm hero i grew up on. It's from a nearby local pizzeria called La Bella Roma... nothing gourmet about it, but it's damn tasty. It's a real 'local' place that from the outside you'd never really notice or think about heading into, but it's a family place that has a very loyal following and makes a great chix parm hero (and at ~$6 for the large size is a great deal):La Bella Roma Pizzeria 35 N Farview Ave, Paramus, 07652 - (201) 843-8687 Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
dahammer Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 I just stayed here a few weeks ago, had problems with the hotel WiFi system, several of the antennas were not connected to the network, I could not even connect in the lobby. No maintenance staff on duty to fix the problem, all I was given was an "800" number to call tech support. The staff is not rude, they really just don't care to give good service. There is a restaurant and bar connected to the Hotel, but your dining options are limited in this neighborhood, do try the Chicken Parm Hero, a mighty fine sandwich. The only redeeming feature of this hotel is that you paid $55 for your room. I wouldn't even think of paying the rack rate at this place, or at many Radisson's for that matter, its on the par or below a Holiday Inn.With a car, your dining options are many, you will pass through Ft. Lee and Palisaides Park on your way to the George Washington Bridge, home to many good Asian restaurants. I am a big fan of Korean Barbecue, your food is cooked on a grill built into your table, wrap it up in a lettuce leaf, great stuff!! Once in Manhattan, you will also pass by 125th street in Harlem and Sylvia's, a great place for Southern cooking. The morning traffic heading into Manhattan is beyond description, you will want to give yourself plenty of time
goldswoop Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Posted September 22, 2005 sweet! thanks for all the great info! will definitely be trying that chik parm hero. :) long live the forum!
