sage Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Got 2 rooms at this nice suite-style accommodation. Extensive bidding to acceptance:$33 in Somerset 3* (rejected)$45 in Somerset & Somerville-Bridgewater 3* (rejected)$45 in Somerset 2.5* (rejected)$40 in Edison-EB 2.5* (rejected)$44 in Edison-EB & Somerset 2.5* (rejected)$47 in Edison-EB & Somerset & Somerville-Bridgewater 2.5* (rejected)$45 in Edison-Woodbridge 3* (rejected)$49 in Edison-Woodbridge & Somerset 3* (rejected)$49 in Edison-Woodbridge & Somerset 2.5* (accepted)Our friend biddingforhotel described a possible complex algorithm to win at Staybridge, so it seems he might be onto something, unless Staybridge has upped their PL rate (from $45).Total was $464 for 4 nights (taxes and fees). Best website rate before taxes was $92 (advanced purchase) or $127 (flexible), so we won for roughly half price (or 2 rooms for price of 1).

sage Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Posted January 30, 2007 The stay was very nice. I'll update my previous stay comments to say that the evening "Sundowner" reception was quite improved from last time. Two nights we made it a light supper: 1) baked fish and potato wedges, with decent salad; 2) chicken wings/drummettes and Stouffer's mac&cheese, with same salad. Menu schedule is posted in the rooms. Breakfast buffets are still excellent and extensive, with special dietary requests honored. Wireless internet worked well for me, though wired was sketchy. Also, the trick to proper shower temperature - a little dial in center of handle.
