NJ Princeton Radisson

[thereuare]

Had a family event in the area so i got 2 rooms on Priceine at $39/nite (June '02), which was a little higher than usual for the area, with the higher rate attributed to a soccer tournament in the area (which is why it's important to compare conventional rates for your dates to historical averages... i saw the higher rate compared to the weekend before and the weekend after, as well as a sold out hotel in the area, so i called and learned about the tournament).

The hotel was recently renovated and proved to be convenient for our purposes... nothing fancy but a clean bed and friendly staff. There is a small indoor pool and a steak restaurant attached to the property (Gallager's). Check-in went smoothly in the early afternoon, no mention of Priceline, and as it turns out the hotel ultimately sold out. Later that evening i overheard a man talking in the elevator saying that he wanted a non-smoking room but had to settle for smoking because it was the last room they had available (see... it happens to the non-priceline customers too sometimes :) )

With all the kids in town for the soccer tournament the hotel was a little dirtier than usual the next morning, but i'm sure this isn't typically a problem because the hotel was very clean when we arrived. An excellent deal based upon the Priceline rate, although i would sooner hope for the Hyatt property down the road.

Radisson.com says this hotel is no longer represented by Radisson. Anybody know under which flag it's operating now? Or did it close?

This will become a Doubletree.... I think this was a Holiday Inn before it was a Radisson....
