Priceline Hotel: 2* Newark (Jersey City) Candlewood Suites

I, too, am going to the Freddie Awards in NYC! $45 was rejected for 3, 2.5, and 2*, but $50 worked. I was fine with this after reading the comments about this location and reading their web page [ http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/cw/1/en/hd/EWRJC ]. I'm looking forward to the full kitchen for stashing edibles to bring home! :)

Total was $178.57.

I'll be next door at the Hyatt on the 1st.

If you don't need to head out of town too quickly, there is an Arts and Music Festival in nearby Hoboken on May 2nd. Runs from about 11am-6pm and runs for about 8 city blocks. Gets bigger and bigger every year (over 100K if the weather is nice) and it's a nice afternoon.

Oh, I think we'll head out of town right around check-out time. I'm sure we will have bought quite a bit of food (esp. from Zabar's - excellent values on cheese!) and will need to get on the road with the filled cooler!

So you're not attending the Freddie Awards?

[thereuare]

Nope, but it seems like a lot of other people are!

Wasn't even really aware of it until it was recently mentioned here the other day.

How does one go about getting ticket(s)?

[LGAflyer]

Oddly, there is no information regarding tickets on their site [ http://www.freddieawards.com ], but some FlyerTalkers (www.FlyerTalk.com) have already received the details. I believe FlyerTalkers can attend for no fee; not sure what the situation is for folks who aren't FlyerTalkers.

Well i'm a member over there too so i'll go find out the details.
