Hi,
This is my first time in the US and the price for the hotel in Manhattan are comparatively higher than where I am from (Thailand) and also, for some reason, for the period that I am staying.
I have therefore shifted my search to jersey city, near the waterfront with the hope of having a nice hotel for possibly lesser price. The thing is I am staying from 17 to 20 March and another friend will join me from 19 to 20 March.
Therefore, I would like to get an idea of a "Name your own price" for 3* or 3.5* hotel or 4* hotel on priceline that would be acceptable for those dates for 3*, 4* and 3.5* offering. Also, an idea of what hotel I will get. I presume that 4 star will be either westin or Hyatt Regency, but I am not sure yet with 3.5 Star (i presume Double tree) and 3* (Is it courtyard by marriott? Any other). I myself prefer that the hotel is near a metro station or PATH station and if 1 of the class can have hotel far away from a subway, please advise also so that I would avoid it.
Also, if I make two seperate booking on name your own price for the same class hotel, do you think I will get the same hotel for the two booking (1 from 17-20 March and other for 19-20 March) and which star rating should I book to have a better chance of getting the same hotel?
Also, if you believe that hotwire is better, please advise.
Thank you very much for all the help.
