Priceline Hotel: 3.5* New Haven (Downtown New Haven) New Haven Hotel

[Plebian]

Seeking to stay in Zone 2 of New Haven CT for night of May 17, 2 ppl. 

Tried Name your own Price, starting at $80 and adding zones until $105 max, all denied.

Looking at accepting one of the  2 Express Deals. Ostensibly one looks considerably less, but with a $22 fee paid at checkin to hotel, appear to be same. Not finding $22 fee on any past reviews.  From reviewing this site, Priceline, Google Maps and other travel engines really only 3 hotels in this zone, the Omni, New Haven and Courtyard Marriott. The 2-3 others are independents that are full for our date. 

 

Here are details of two offers.  Wondering which hotels these are as some past respondents name the New Haven as  3* and others as a 3.5*. 

New Haven Express Deal #1

 

3.5 Star Hotel Downtown New Haven

Guest Favorite

Fitness  Center, Business Center, Bed Choice Available.

Hotel Amenities Pop-up: Bed Choice, Business Center, Fitness Center, Non Smoking

However, besides the taxes, there is an additional mandatory fee of $22 collected at the hotel.

Priceline total w tax is $147.97 and then w $22 fee my overall total is then $169.97

 

New Haven Express Deal #2
3 –Star Hotel

Free Internet, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Bed Choice available

Hotel Amenities Popup: Free Internet, Bed Choice, Business Center, Fitness Center, Non Smoking Restaurant

It was indeed the New Haven Hotel.  Thank you for reviewing my bid.  (And I was careful to use a Betterbidding.com PRICELINE link.)
