Thought I was booking Jersey City, but ended up with Weehawken :o(. Hopefully, it will still work out.

Oh, I didn't realize I could book through this site. I double booked the Doubletree through the Support Page link. It's the exact same rate on got over the phone $180 senior rate plus tax. Thanks.

Thank you for all that information. I think I would still prefer staying in Jersey City and will keep tabs on the rates for the 4* hotels. I'll continue to "name my price" and hope to get a winning bid.

I booked at the Doubletree as a backup. The reservationist indicated that there were several conventions in their facility during that period.

I will be arriving by plane to JFK, but will have a friend picking me up for dinner in lower Manhattan before dropping me off at a hotel. She lives on Long Island and Jersey City seemed more convenient than Newark or Staten Island.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction to find the answers to my questions. I'll continue researching.

When is the best time to bid for a hotel on Priceline for a one night stay 9/7/13? I will be taking a cruise 9/8 out of Port Liberty and it was suggested that a hotel in Jersey City near the light rail line might be a good option. The light rail will take me to the port and then I will have to call a cab to take me the rest of the way. I was interested in one of the 4 star hotels listed on Priceline for Jersey City. They are all in good proximity to the light rail. I've just offered a bid of $110 (lowest listed price of $194) but was turned down. Generally speaking, are lower bids accepted closer to the date? From experience, when would be the best time to start bidding?

Also, does anybody have any other suggestions for a clean, comfortable and close to light rail hotel?

Thank you for you help.
