lighthouse boy Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 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! :) Link to comment
lighthouse boy Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 See my misadventures with priceline on that thread. I got the Doubletree at $82/nite on Hotwire.ALERT: New hotel to list! :) Link to comment

dahammer Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 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 Link to comment

7continentKaren Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 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! Link to comment
dahammer Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 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 :) Link to comment
lighthouse boy Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 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. Link to comment
