beef714 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 We have a group of 4 people(guys trip) driving to NYC staying 4/25-4/27 we'll get 2 rooms. Plan to attend Mets game Friday night, the Yankees game Saturday afternoon (1:05) then subway to 9/11 Memorial and dinner in the evening. Thinking 4* or even 4 1/2*, max we would like to pay is $200, less is hopeful. The areas I'm thinking of are MSG, MTW, TS, ESB, CHE, less so DT/FIN.Our backup plan would be to stay out in Jersey, Secaucus area, take the train to Penn St. and go from there. I believe the only 3 1/2* in area is the Embassy Suites.Any advice would be welcomedThanks Link to comment

beef714 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thanks, I'll post results after my attempt. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Note that my going up to $198/nite is based upon the current PRICELINE EXPRESS offer (see link and code in my signature) being available, which expires tomorrow nite.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck!

beef714 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Appreciate all the help. Got shut out up to $180, tried again 2 days later subbed MTE for DT, same results (seems to be a higher priced time). I tried 3.5* in Seacaucus - NB, up to $135 again with no luck. We have booked Spring Hill Suites @ EWR for $110 (do you know anything about this hotel?), one of our travelers had some kind of Marriott discount. Will try again as we get closer to April and see what happens. Thanks again. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 This Springhill property does get good reviews on tripadvisor - Springhills are pretty consistent, it seems, and this one does get fine reviews. Thank you for keeping us updated and hopefully more will become available on the discount services closer to your stay. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 You have a car so it's a do-able location, but you'll need a car to get anyplace as there isn't really anything in the immediate area that is walkable and it's not that convenient to NYC via mass transit (will you drive to the games and/or NYC or do you plan to make mass transit)? PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 4* hotel in the Soho zone for $186/nite (Pets Allowed, Restaurant, Free Internet in public areas, Business Center, Fitness Center)... or in the zones you have already bid you're likely looking not much higher, likely something in the $185-$205 rrange.

beef714 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 We will probably drive to the Mets game on Friday. We will park at Newark Penn or Secaucus Junction station and take the train to NYC Penn, and use the subway for Yankees game and other activities in town on Saturday. One good thing about this hotel I guess is we are flying to/from Trenton (TTN) so we are on the right side to head out on our way home. I'll check the PE offer. Any Idea what hotel it is?

thereuare Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm not certain of the PRICELINE EXPRESS property... the Sheraton Tribeca would be my guess, but i'm far from certain.

beef714 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Sorry forgot to get back with details. We just ended up staying at the Spring Hill Suites EWR, the reviews were correct very nice hotel for the price. We drove into the city on Saturday, and parked the car for the day and took the subway to Yankee Stadium, The 911 Memorial, and a great dinner at Keens Steakhouse. Thanks for all the help.
