GM Mike Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 The Knickerbocker is in a great location and has a very nice bar/lounge area in the lobby. You'll probably be quite happy with it, especially if shopping is in the cards for this trip. Link to comment
Matthew Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Although I didn't stay there, my parents said the rooms were excellent, although maybe a little small.Also, I got a PM from a user asking me more info:hey i saw your post about knockerbrocker hotel.what were your bids for MP ? I like the swisshotel a lot but have the same concern as you. dont want to get palmer house. did you try a bid of 69Sorry for the delay, I haven't been on the site since you sent the message.As I said in my post, my PRICELINE bids for MP were 50, counter 64, 55. I stopped at 55 since I decided the risk for Palmer was too great and NMA was a better option since the theatre my parents were going to was in that location. Of course in the end we ended up driving to breakfast in MP, and then I dropped them back off at theatre, but oh well.It seems like Hyatt Regency is offering a lot of inventory.Good luck!@Matthew Link to comment
