cheapstake Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 :) Previoously I was getting Radisson - MacArthur for $39 and up and max I paid was $60. Now even at $65, unable to get. Does any one has any clue why?Also, this Radisson is not a *** (3 star), it is much less may be ** (2 star).If you bid $60 and include Commack area, you land up in HOJO, which is a dump, watch out folks on bidding more than $60 and including Commack area. From what I know both HOJO and Radisson - MacArthur are owned by the same company.Appreciate your feed back....... Link to comment

cheapstake Posted September 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Thanks. I am failing from 9/6/03 onwards. Usually for Friday and Saturday you can not get Radisson, I think they block off. I tried usually for Mon-Fri or Sun-Fri.Clearly, this Radisson should be rated as ** (2) star, how do we tell Priceline about this, also Hotwire? Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 So you've tried multiple dates and nothin'?Have you tried any single nite stays?What is so wrong with this Radisson? You can email Priceline/Hotwire any hotels you think are mis-rated and include why... but i don't think you're going to see a rating of a 2* get asigned to a Radisson. Just the name brand alone should give it more clout than a Holiday Inn or Comfort Inn type property (and would you really want it lumped in with those named properties... if it is, there'd be no way to differentiate getting the Radisson vs. the equivalent of a Comfort Inn in the area). Even if they do lower the star rating... don't expect the price to get any cheaper. :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
thesqueegeekid Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Interesting ... I am curious too about why lower the Radisson rating...???I have stayed over 30 nights there and find it pretty good ... not as good as some Hyatt's that come up as 3's BUT definitely better than other Radissons or run-down Hiltons. That particular hotel has just been renovated extensively and besides major staff/management problems, is in great shape.I too have found the price has jumped ... Hotwire is a great place to check the area for prices. Also, a friend got a great 2.5* for $70 or $75 after bidding the Glen Cove/Garden City zones ... I have not followed up which one it was but his girlfriend said it was great. I suspect it is either a Holiday Inn or the Harrison Conf. Center (which is much closer to the city). Link to comment
cheapstake Posted September 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Thanks to all for your comments, I have tried one and two days as well, the price has increased. As far as star rating, the staff and place is not Radisson type (it was Best western before and staff behave like it). In this area, Hauppauge has Wyndham, that has 3.5 star, and this is cheaper than Radisson -MacArthur (hotwire prices) and many times I have stayed at Wyndham (has a golf course) for $63.00. Also, Sheraton - Commack (hotwire) is available some times for $60.00Once again thanks to all. Link to comment
