For 5/26 - 5/30, in Jersey City area, Bid $50 for 2* (Candlewood Suites) and got rejected. Changed dates to 5/26 - 5/28, and bid all the way up to $75 for the same hotel and kept getting rejected. Again, changed the dates to 5/26 - 5/29, and bid $81 for the same hotel and FINALLY got accepted by Candlewood Suites. To stay even further (5/29 - 5/31), I bid $81 for a 3* (Hyatt or Double Tree) in the same area, and got accepted by the Doubletree Club Jersey City. I guess I'll enjoy the free parking for the first three days and then move to an upscale hotel, see what difference a star makes. Hope my wife will be satisfied. :) Oh, here's the details: A. the 2* hotel Candlewood Suites Jersey City Exchange Place Jersey City (Price Line's area category) 21 Second Street Jersey City, New Jersey 07302 201-659-2500 Check-In Date: Thu, May 26, 2005 Check-In Time: After 03:00 PM Check-Out Date: Sun, May 29, 2005 Check-Out Time: 12:00 PM Your Offer Price: $81.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 3 Subtotal: $243.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $44.54 Total Charges: $287.54 B. the 3* hotel Doubletree Club Jersey City Jersey City (Price Line's area category) 455 Washington Boulevard Jersey City, New Jersey 07310 201-499-2400 Check-In Date: Sun, May 29, 2005 Check-In Time: After 03:00 PM Check-Out Date: Tue, May 31, 2005 Check-Out Time: 12:00 PM Your Offer Price: $81.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $162.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $31.93 Total Charges: $193.93 - Raytech from Indiana
