Priceline Hotel: 3* Saddle Brook-Teaneck (Teaneck-Ft Lee) Holiday Inn

[dahammer]

I first bid $57 for a 3.5* and received a counteroffer to increase the bid by $17, but I closed this browser and re-opened a new browser using the links on the board. I bid $62 for a 3*, but forgot about this worn out property as I was hoping for the Doubletree.

Your Offer Price $62.00

Taxes & Service Fees $17.04

Total Charges $79.04

This is a lesson as to why you don't increase a bid and lower the star rating, but its a same day bid and I didn't want to stay way out in Paramus and have to schlep in towards the GWB. Overall, I'm happy with this win, wifi is free unlike at the 3.5* Marriott at Glenpoint nearby, maybe I can get a free breakfast with my Priority Club card, but the staff here barely registers a pulse. The rack rate was $139. There are numerous dining options nearby including KFC, which in these parts means Korean Fried Chicken from a place called Boom Boom Chicken. If you've never had this type of chicken, its worth a stop. $12 gets you an assortment of legs and wings which have been dipped in a very thin sweet/hot batter and fried. $20 for a whole chicken. With that, you get a soda and a cup of asian radishes in a sweet vinegar marinade. There's a great Spanish place, Meson Madrid nearby as well which is where I ended up.

Sorry to hear you received a hotel you weren't expecting, but the rate is good and sounds like you'll be able to make this work for your needs.

Thank you for using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding and helping us add this property to the Priceline hotel list.

Hope you're enjoying your stay (and enjoyed dinner).

before check out, I reviewed my folio through the in room entertainment system, PRICELINE paid the hotel $60.95 for room and tax, so PRICELINE's fee was a whopping $18.09 or 29%.
