Tired of playing with PL, and went with Hotwire. Purchased the 2.5* hotel at $87/night through the provided HOTWIRE Link. Details are as below. AmeriSuites Secaucus Meadowlands Check-in: Tue, Aug 15, 2006 Check-out: Fri, Aug 18, 2006 1 room(s) @ $87.00 per night x 3 night(s) $261.00 Hotel Taxes and fees: $41.93 Hotel Subtotal $302.93 Total Price $302.93 Thanks a lot to dahammer and thereuare! btw, could someone tell me how to quota original the post I am replying? Thanks!

Thanks, thereuare! Yes, I have bid up to the limit. Because I only know the hotels (listed by PL) in Jersey City and Secaucus likely afford easy transportation, I haven't tried any other areas. So I would like to know the next best area to bid a 2.5 and above star hotel besides Jersey City and Secaucus. For example, how about the airport area and Rutherford? Typically, how long does it takes to go to NYC by public transportation from the two areas? Also, if I want to bid a 2* hotel in the airport area, how much should I bid? And how much for a 2.5* and 3* hotel in the airport area? thanks!

Thanks a lot, dahammer! I read through the rebidding post, and will follow the guidance in the future. We have a conference at Philadelphia, and after that we will take train for NYC. So we do not fly to NYC directly. According to your suggestion, I would like to refine my choice into 2.5* and 3* hotel with convenient access to public transportation to NYC. If other areas besides Jersey City and Secaucus happen to have a good deal (i.e., nice hotel, cheap price and easy transportation), we are also happy to go with it. We are prepared to spend 20-40min on transportation from hotel to NYC. Any comments and inputs are really appreciated!

Hi, everyone, We are planning a trip to NYC this summer, from 08/15 to 08/18. After going over this great site, we believe staying in NJ is a better choice while sightseeing NYC (money-wise). Since we won't drive car there, we want to locate a hotel with convenient access to public transportation to NYC, and we are not quite particular about star rating (2+ * should all be fine). So far, we have thrown a few low balls, getting the results as below: Jersey City + Secaucus: 3*, $82 rejected Jersey City + Secaucus: 2.5*, $77 rejected Jersey City + Secaucus: 2*, $67 rejected As we were not sure whether public transportation is convenient for other areas, we didn't include other areas. As said above, we are fine with any hotel with 2+star rating (preferably 2.5 and above), but only the hotel has convenient access to public transportation to NYC. So other areas besides Jersey City and Secaucus would be fine. If somebody is familiar with this area, could you please drop some bidding suggestions? We want to bid up to $80 for 3*, $75 for 2.5* and $65 for 2*. Many thanks to any inputs!
