Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Newark (Secaucus-North Bergen) La Quinta Suites

[rgdave]

Had hoped for the Hyatt Place (got that all fall for a $75 2.5* bid in this zone). Hyatt Place hasn't shown up as a winning bid on Betterbidding for a couple of months, it seems. The LQ is OK, I've stayed there a couple of times before, but the service is much better at Hyatt Place. The rate on the LQ website was $179 rack, $161 AAA/AARP, so $75 is a great rate.

Booked through the Savings Barn link.

For those of you who get the LQ Secaucus-Meadowlands, one note. The new renovated decor is actually quite stylish. But they no longer have blankets or comforters on the beds. Actually, pretty strange. When you check in, ask for blankets to be brought up to the room. On my last stay, I wanted one later in the evening, and all the housekeeping staff were gone. When I went downstairs to get one, there was only one staff person on the desk, and he couldn't leave to get me a blanket because "I'll be fired if I leave the desk." Overall, that is kind of my experience with the service attitude at this hotel --- and I've stayed there on both 'regular' and Priceline rates.

Congratulations on your win!

Although not the hotel you were hoping for, as you say, this looks to be a great deal.
