Priceline Hotel: 3* Somerset-Brunswick (Clinton-Lebanon) Holiday Inn Select

[sage]

Tried to get hotel in Bridgewater (bidding up to $65) or Somerset (up to $60) for 2.5*. Unsuccessful. Tried $65 in Basking Ridge for 2.5*. Unsuccessful. Many PL hotels in that area show no occupancy these days. So expensive now.

Went to Clinton sub-zone despite annoying eastbound traffic in morning (how early before 7 do you have to leave for a speedy commute?). Tried to get the 2* there thinking it is likely Hampton Inn (w/ free breakfast). Tried $35, $37, and $38 but none were accepted. Went to $39 knowing that I've gotten Holiday Inn Select at that price before. Accepted there ("upgraded").

Didn't want Ramada (2* in Somerset) due to bad reviews. So instead I booked another 3 nights directly with Best Western Garden Executive in South Plainfield at corp rate of $64 with $9 tax per night. They have hi-speed internet, "deluxe" cont. breakfast, and recent refurbishing. We'll see how it goes....
