dahammer Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 opened bidding at $49 for a 3* in Long Island City, but was rejected. HOTWIRE had a 2.5* for $55 in the L.I.C. Elmhurst zone with Fitness and High Speed Internet and this amenity combination could describe about 10 hotels in this zone. Went back to PRICELINE, using the links on the board, and lowered my star rating to 2.5* and my $52 bid was accepted.Your Offer Price: $52.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $16.30 Total Charges: $68.30 this could be a slight overbid and the best available rate was $82, but there are no rebid zones here and I just wanted to get the bidding over with. I have stayed here twice before and while the Comfort Inn is not everybody's cup of tea, it works for me. Rooms are small, but clean and breakfast and wifi are free. The hotel is in a gritty industrial area with a small junkyard across the street and it gets pretty desserted in the evenings. Parking is on the street and sometimes a little tough to find, but there is a NYC Parking deck about a block away. The Queensboro station is about a block away for quick access to Manhattan.
