Just for those who might know, what is the best way to get from the Crowne Plaza Meadownlands to Timesquare by public transit?

I followed your advise, but I was rejected even at 60$. I was so angry that I went back to the website and added "Jersey City" and increased my price to 65$. I waited 15 minutes, and then it got accepted! Crowne Plaza Meadowlands Two Harmon Plaza Secaucus, NJ 07094 201-348-6900 Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $65.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Guests Per Room: 2 Number of Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $130.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $28.44 (USD) Total Room Cost: $158.44 (USD) Thanks so much!

Thank you for your quick reply! I do think that Rutherford would be great if I can get it for cheap! I'm pretty flexible: cheap and easy access to NYC. Please let me know what to do and I'll follow your instructions! :)

Hi, I've gone up to 60$ tonight and I've been consistently rejected (after each 24h). If 3* is too much to ask, I wouldn't mind staying in a 2.5* hotel, or worst case scenario just a 2* hotel. But my budget is 40-60$/night (Or more if this is too unrealistic). My first priority is price, second priority is easy public transit to get to NYC (for that reason, I prefer Secaucus - North Bergen or Jersey City). (Should I consider areas farther from NYC?) Help! What should my next strategy be? Thanks!!!!

Thanks so much! I got the following: Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $60.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Guests Per Room: 2 Number of Nights: 3 Room Subtotal: $180.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $35.94 (USD) Total Room Cost: $215.94 (USD)

Hi! I've been browsing around and I see a lot of amazing deals for Baltimore - Inner harbor (ex: 3* Radisson Plaza Lord $43; 2.5* Fairfield Inn and $45; 3.5* Sheraton City Cent $54; etc. etc.) I am going there on the 12/30/2011 to 01/02/2012, and I would like to get a similar deal. (Lately I've been on a bidding frenzy, lol) Date: 12/30/2011 to 01/02/2012 (3 nights) Hotel: I would prefer a 3* hotel or better, but I can settle for a 2.5* hotel if I don't have a choice. Price: It would be nice to have the price low (between 40-55), maximum I can afford is 60$. Please help me with a bidding strategy. Thank you!

Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $60.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Guests Per Room: 2 Number of Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $120.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $29.64 (USD) Total Room Cost: $149.64 (USD) :D

I just selected 3.5* Secaucus-North Bergen, bid $43, got rejected, and rebid 43$ by adding Jersey City but got rejected again. I will try again tomorrow. But just to be sure, is this the way I'm supposed to proceed?

Started bid at 50$, 4* and downtown: rejected Rebid at 55$, 3.5*: rejected Rebid at 61$, 3* and added Latin Qtr: accepted! Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $61.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Guests Per Room: 2 Number of Nights: 3 Room Subtotal: $183.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $41.43 (USD) Total Room Cost: $224.43 (USD) (On their website, it says 4 stars?)

I think that the Secaucus-North Bergen area would be a good option since public transportation is within walking distance. In terms of price, i am willing to stretch it to 60$ but I would definitely prefer a lower price! So what strategy would you suggest? Thanks again!

:) Done!

Thank you! I'm driving from Canada (Quebec). My expected budget is about 45-55$/night. But I'm quite flexible in terms of the location, so long as I can get to NYC by public transportation easily. If 3 stars+ is asking too much, then I might settle with a 2.5 stars, but the hotel has to be clean and not too shady.

Hi all! I need your expertise. I would like to find a hotel close to NYC for two nights (December 19 to 21, 2011). I will be driving to the hotel, then taking public transportation to go to NYC. Would a hotel in "Newark - Meadowlands (Jersey City)" be a good choice? If not, what would you suggest instead? My situation: - I am a bit hard up so that's why I'm considering staying in a satellite city next to NYC. - I would like to take the public transportation from the hotel to get to NYC. My criteria for hotel: - I would like to stay in a 3*+ hotel (preferably close to a bus or train station) - I am quite impecunious(lol, that's why I'm here) so I would like to pay as little as possible. My questions: - Which New Jersey neighborhood(s) should I choose? - What should be my bidding strategy/How should I proceed? Thank you! You're expertise is greatly appreciated, and I will definitely use the link you provide from here!
