Priceline Hotel: 2.5* NYC (Brooklyn) Holiday Inn Express Union Street

[deeb]

Took a while to get my bid accepted but i'm happy with the result.

bid on 2.5* hotels and went up by small amounts starting at $60 and kept adding zones. i wanted this brooklyn hotel from the start as i've stayed in manhattan a few times now and wanted a change of scenery. Free hot breakfast too :-)

i originally wanted 3 nights (till august 1st) but didn't have any luck bidding up to $75 and used up all my free bids. so i tried 24 hours later and changed stay to only two nights. when my bid was accepted at $78 for two nights i took advantage of Priceline's Additional Nights Reservation and that was accepted too.

Hi Deeb,

Congrats on your win!

I'm looking for a cheap NYC hotel in October and this Holiday Inn looks like a good deal.

How are both the hotel and the general area around the hotel? Is it shady or decent?

Thanks!
