dahammer Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 started bidding at the 3* level at $75 in the Rye-White Plains zone, rejected. Added a rebid zone and increased the bid to $81, but was rejected. I re-accessed PRICELINE, using the links on the board and added a rebid zone, and increased my bid to $87, success!Your Offer Price: $87.00 Taxes & Service Fees $17.82 Total Charges: $104.82 prior to bidding, I checked HOTWIRE and the lowest priced 3* was $119 in the Westchester zone and $163 in the Rye Brook, yet just over the state line in Stamford, CT, what appeared to be the Holiday Inn Select was $59, so this was my backup plan of action. It appears that the values in this area are in Connecticut as several board members have reported wins below $50 for the Holiday Inn Select. The rack rate at the Renaissance is $299, so this works for me. The hotel appears in between the White Plains train station and the Rye station and the off peak ticket price is around $13. There is a family fare of $1 per child for up to 4 children aged 5-11 with an adult during non peak hours. The hotel is about an hour from New Haven, so a road trip to The Original Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana may be in order. :)
