Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Westchester County (Elmsford-Tarrytown) Springhill Suites

[dahammer]

I was trying to get the Marriott Courtyard in Tarrytown for tonight. Started my Priceline bidding through Savingsbarn.com at the 3* level and bid $75, Rejected. Went down to the 2.5* and bid $80 then $85 and received a counteroffer to raise my bid by $22. I added a rebid zone and then tried to undercut the counteroffer by bidding $91, but received another $22 counteroffer. Added my last rebid zone and increased bid to $97....success!

Your Offer Price: $97.00

Taxes & Service Fees: $18.96

Total Charges: $115.96

This is a fairly new hotel, maybe only 3 years old, free wifi, all non-smoking rooms, a small indoor pool and free breakfast. The rooms are basically mini-suites and have a tiny microwave, small sink, refrigerator, and a Melitta in room "pod" coffe maker, yum. It always strikes me as being odd that a nice property like this gets the same 2.5* rating as some of the older hotels that go begging for being refurbished such as a Ramada Inn and Sheraton Four Points. Really happy that I did not have to go to the 2* level and possibly get the Extended Stay, or end up with the Wellesley. The online rate was $209 so I'm pretty happy with the results. Dining options are a bit limited in this area without a car, but the hotel shuttle will take you anywhere within a 5 mile radius, so you can go to the Ruth's Chris' Steak House down the road a couple miles at the Marriott or head north to the Village of Sleepy Hollow.

Congratulations on your win... glad to see you are pleased with the outcome on this one!

Sounds like a nice set-up, maybe this is one is cheaper on weekends and would be a nice place to just get away for the nite?

As always, thanks for using the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay... and wherever you end up for dinner :)
