dahammer Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 started my PRICELINE bid by checking HOTWIRE first, there appeared a 3* for $69 with Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, High Speed Internet. Although this had not yet been reported, this looked like the 2 month old Holiday Inn. A little more research indicated that the pool was not open yet and I was tempted to book it and then complain to HOTWIRE that an amenity was not available in hopes of getting some more hot Dollars, but I decided to commence bidding. Opened my bid at $51 in the Long Island City zone and received a counteroffer message to increase my bid by $14. I rejected this and added a the MTW zone, assuming that a $54 bid had a low chance of acceptance in Manhattan. I was right!Holiday Inn L.I. City-Manhattan View Long Island City39-05 29th Street Long Island City, New York 11101 718-707-3700Your Offer Price: $54.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $16.78 Total Charges: $70.78 this hotel has only 12 parking spots and the daily fee is $20, but there is some street parking nearby as well as a few garages and surface lots.

A few more blocks away is Queensboro Plaza and Queens Plaza which serves the E train that connects to the Airtrain-JFK station in Jamaica.
