Finally the last leg of my trip: 25th&26th Jun 3* Residence Inn Bos/Cambridge Center $100 :)

Since I cannot cross the border, I have been bidding for hotels near Watertown, NY. A room is won for $65 in Microtel Inn Calcium/Ft. Drum (8000 Virginia Smith Drive Calcium, NY 13616) for 24th Jun. Many thanks for your help, thereuare.

Won 1 room in 3* Millennium Airport Hotel Buffalo for $35 on 23rd Jun. Very happy for this bid.

Cannot cross the border since I need a Canadian visa while I do not. I guess I will stay in somewhere in Buffalo. Will do more research.

Finally, got 3* Hilton Garden Inn Queens/Jfk Airport for $84 on 18th Jun. Many thanks, thereuare.

I am expecting to win a 3* hotel. I just realise I need to do more research to know Boston better.

I think that could be the right zone although I need to do more research. I am expecting to win 3* hotel.

Sorry, I am not talking about a NY area. I mean Thousand Islands region near Niagara Falls.

thereuare, I bid for quite a few times for this area and get no luck so far while I go as high as $56 for 2.5* and $82 for 3*. I am trying to get 3* hotel but now I think I need to live with 2.5* since price starts to become an issue.

thereuare, you seems to know the area really well. Thin crust pizza sounds lovely and we will definitely give it a try. Many thanks for your help.

Woops, I just got Sheraton Mahwah in Mahwah, NJ for $60 on 22nd June at the 2nd attempt. Many thanks.

thereuare, I am considering using a UK car rental company instead of Enterprise. In that case I will pick up my car in La Guardia Airport, NY. Any suggestion on where is the best area to stay in Woodbury area for me? Many thanks for your help.

thereuare, many thanks for your tips on the hotel booking in Woodbury. I haven't decided where to take my rental although I plan to take it from somewhere in north area of NY city since I am heading north. Will put other legs of my journey in different posts. Many thanks.

Apology if this post asks for too much help and not limited to NY area, but since it is all about one long trip as my first time to US, I put them in one post anyway. I want to bid for a room for 2 persons in the following time & area. 18th Jun, JFK airport (the following 3 days will be spent in NY and a priceline hotel has been booked through the PRICELINE link on betterbidding) 22nd Jun, somewhere near Woodbury shopping mall 23rd Jun & 24th Jun, Buffalo area, ideally near Niagara Falls State Park 25th Jun & 26th Jun, Boston After 26th, I will stay with my cousin and no hotel room is required :) I have average budget around $60 per night/room although I can stretch to $90 per night/room. If hotels in big cities cost more than that, I am hoping to even them out with the costs for the rest of the trip. Hope I have made myself clear, and your help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks to AaronJB and thereuare. I still need to bid for my night on June 18th near JFK aiport, NY. Any suggestion? :)

Not a great bid but it is my first time using PRICELINE. I made a rookie mistake to somehow include LIC into my preferred regions although I definitely do not remember having done that. Anyway here it is: Holiday Inn L.I. City-Manhattan View 3* Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $120.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 3 Room Subtotal: $360.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $78.57 (USD) Total Room Cost: $438.57 (USD) Having used the PRICELINE link to bid. Hope this piece of information is useful.
