dahammer Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 same day reservation, as always, accessed the Priceline site through Savingsbarn.co, Started my bidding in the Meadowlands-Rutherford zone at $65 at the 3* level. Rejection! Thought about increasing the bid by $10 but caught myself and just increased the bid by $5 and added a rebid zone.....Success!Your Offer Price: $70.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $18.47 Total Charges: $88.47 Very pleased with the results, this is a great hotel and a nice savings compared to the $199 rate on the Sheraton website. However, you really need a car as there is no public transportation within walking distance. Not sure if the hotel operates a shuttle to public transportation. Much less convenient than the Crowne Plaza or the hotels in the Mill Creek center (Holiday Inn, Amerisuites, Courtyard, Wyndham Suites, et al) Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Congratulations on your success!This is a very nice hotel! NJ Transit used to have a bus stop at the door of the hotel, but this ended about a 2 years ago.Please do let us know if they are offering any type of shuttle service to a bus stop or, preferably, to the Secaucus train.Enjoy your stay.

dahammer Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Please do let us know if they are offering any type of shuttle service to a bus stop or, preferably, to the Secaucus train.The Sheraton has daily complimentary shuttle service to the Harmon Cove Outlets, the Plaza, Mill Creek Mall, and Secaucus Plaza where there's a stop for the NJ Transit 190 bus. This is the stop that's near the Crowne Plaza. Here is the schedule:DEPARTURE TIMES PICKUP TIMES 9:00 AM 9:15 AM 10:00 AM 10:15 AM 11:00 AM 11:15 AM 1:00 PM 1:15 PM 2:00 PM 2:15 PM 4:00 PM 4:15 PM 6:00 PM 6:15 PM 7:30 PM 7:45 PM 9:30 PM 9:45 PM 10:30 PM 10:45 PM You are required to schedule a pick up time with the driver in advance. The hotel does not guarantee pickups unless they are requested in advance at the times listed. PS, Wifi is available at $9.95 for 24 hours. Link to comment
dahammer Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 This is the stop that's near the Crowne Plaza.WRONG! The Secaucus Plaza stop is at the intersection Plaza Centre and Paterson Plank Road. Here is the current NJ Transit Route 190 Bus Schedule. Schedules are subject to change, so check the NJ Transit website for the most current schedule.PS, Priceline credited the hotel $77.05 for the room and tax, so a bid of $67 would have won.

Scottmc Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 dahammer, are the pool renovations completed yet? and is the pool open? Thanks. Link to comment
dahammer Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 sorry Scott, I forgot my Speedo...... besides I was too busy at the Bon Jovi concert at Giants Stadium that night to notice :) Unfortunately, the pool is still closed and no one could give me an estimate as to when it will be back in operation. :) Link to comment
