sage Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Bid the old optimum $33 rate for one weeknight (Thu) and was accepted immediately. Total charges $45.15. Marriott site lowest rate was $194, so feel quite lucky to have picked this one up. Bid via savingsbarn site.BTW, Priceline offered a $41/day EWR economy car after booking this hotel. Bid $17 instead and was accepted. Link to comment
