Wanted to go the following weekend but no availability on hotwire and high Hyatt.com rates, so I didn't even try. They were high for this post's weekend as well over the past few weeks until today when they dropped significantly on hotwire.

Hotwire for these dates was $143 for 10/04-10/05, $169 10/06.

Hyatt.com was $259 10/04, $299 10/05, $479 10/06.

I knew Monday was a longshot and I wanted to go ahead and lock in Sat/Sun, so I didn't include it in my original bid.

Started out bidding 10/04-10/06 on priceline with 3* in JC only for $85, rejected. Added Elizabeth and increased to $100, accepted and (thankfully) given the opportunity to extend. Tried for $100 on 10/06, it came back with a counter of $131, which I accepted. Total for the 3 nights with taxes is about $400.

I'm very happy to a) get a great deal and not have to fool with moving to another hotel/continuing to watch rates for that Monday.

Used PRICELINE referral links.

bigbadbuf,

I recently stayed in this hotel and it was a very pleasant experience. Right next to the PATH station and very helpful staff.
