sage Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Found this "new" listing after rejection of third night stay in Clinton Holiday Inn. Bid $45 for 2.5* in three zones ($33 in first, $39 in second failed) and was accepted. Weekday price on website was $145, weekends around $180. Good deal.I believe this is the old Summerfield Suites (per a Tripadvisor review). Since the renovation (just re-opened 2 months ago), I'd say any bad reviews are outdated. My stay was very pleasant. Nice to have hot-and-cold breakfast buffet (very fresh fruit, eggs&bacon, big bagels, potato cakes), plus evening snacks (hot dogs and chips last night) and wine/beer (albeit cheapy brands). HSI in each room (bring patch cable, front desk has a few). Free (they say) on-site laundry. Full size kitchen with big fridge, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, pots/pans, plates/glasses/cups/silverware. Link to comment

biddingforhotel Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I know this ex Summerfieds so well and great to hear this wonderful deal!!!Well, I did not think twice and just went on to bid the 2.5* at $45 on Somerset, but I got Somerset Marriott 3* ... which was fine but kind of don't understand because website shows Somerset Marriott $189 ($89 weekend) on Thursday (weekday), Courtyard Somerset $159 ($69 weekend) ... well, got Marriott at $45 (a saving of $144!!! but rather get this Staybridge ...(will post a new bid in a minute)...

biddingforhotel Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Cool! I am able to repeat this at $45!!! :) Basically, I just followed your bidding sequence carefully. I chose Somerset 2.5* and bid on $33 (in case hit Marriot still min, unlike last week I got it at $45 at first bid), not got it, then add Lebanon and bid $37 (in case get Courtyard still min), rejected, add Bridgewater and bid $39 (in case hit Holiday Inn Select Clinton min), failed, add Edison Woodbridge, bid $45, got it!!!I suspect $45 is not minimum, but it is already very good since weekday also has light dinner ...(will post on another topic ...)
