Hotwire Hotel: 3* NYC (Airport JFK) Doubletree Jamaica Club

[lighthouse boy]

My cousin & his soon-to-be-enrolled-in St John's son are flying to visit the campus. Today was my third attempted. I only bidded the JFK area because they are flying Jet Blue into NYC.

I started all bidding at $75/3* and was rejected and add 2.5* but at $60 and rejected.

So, I opted for hotwire (see that post).

first time I didn't get a hotel on priceline! :)

See my misadventures with priceline on that thread. I got the Doubletree at $82/nite on Hotwire.

ALERT: New hotel to list! :)

Can you add the amenities shown before your purchase so that we can properly add it to the list.

You can still view this information by going to Hotwire and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.

Thanks.

Btw, it's called "Jamaica Club Hotel" but it is a Doubletree hotel.

This Hotel features the following amenities: Restaurant(s), Fitness Center, Business Center

this property was formerly the Doubletree, but when I drove by a few weeks ago, a banner announced that it is converting to a Fairfield Inn

... it also doesn't appear on the Doubletree website.

I just talked to Hilton and they acknowledged that it was no longer a Doubletree. I just tried Hotwire for Mar 28 and they want $95 for a 3* that night. Fairfield would be nice so I could use an award!

the changeover to the Fairfield Inn should happen by early May. This property had a restaurant when it was a Doubletree, a nice feature for an airport hotel of this star rating and considering that nearby dining options are few. I wonder if this space will be conveted to the Breakfast area?

For what its worth, there is a new Fairfield Inn near LaGuardia in College Point. Category 2 only 10,000 points. :)

Fairfield would be nice so I could use an award!

there is a Courtyard near JFK, but this is a category 4 which is 20,000 points :)

hotwire sent me a $50 credit to my hotwire account for the downgraded to $50. High school graduation is next month and my aunt & uncle are looking for a cheap room in Austin (TX). I will keep y'all advised.
