  1. Ok, I used Hotwire and booked 3.5-star hotel in Secaucus - Meadowlands (Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business, High-Speed Internet, Golf Nearby). As expected, I got Sheraton Meadowlands. I used the HOTWIRE link from this site to book.

    I'm fine with street parking in the city. We usually get in early in the morning on weekends and always find parking. I'm happy with what we got. The regular price is close to $200, about double of what we paid.

    Thanks for your help!

  2. Yes, I will have a car and from past experience, I have found that Fort Lee was cheaper than Secaucus. Even though Secaucus is closer to Midtown Manhattan, the Lincoln tunnel was usually congested with traffic even on weekends. The GW bridge on the other hand didn't seem to have the same traffic problems. This may have changed, I do not know.

    I will also look into the areas that you mentioned. Thanks for all the help so far.

    I will make sure I use the links when I finally book. Thanks.

  3. The fact that the hotel does not have a fitness facility, does it rule out all of the above mentioned hotels?

    On the other hand, I did a search on Expedia using the same search criteria (Fort Lee, NJ - Aug 30 - Sept 1) and the only 3.5* hotel that came up was DoubleTree. The only rooms that they had available were smoking, which is worrisome. The fact that Hotwire and Expedia are partners / owned by the same company, does this information provide any additional information about this mysterious hotel?

    Thanks.

  4. BUMP. I posted a conclusion to my previous post. I didn't end up going with Hotwire but booked directly with Holiday Inn Fort Lee GW bridge.

    Unfortunately, this time this hotel is sold out and labor day weekend seems to be pricer than the last time I was in the NYC area. I will be travelling into the city only on weekends. Does this make a hotel in the Paramus (worse case scenario from what I gather) more acceptable in terms of travel time into the city?

    Any ideas at all as to what this hotel might be?? Thanks.

  5. Do you have a car? I doubt you will get a hotel / inn room for $150 / night. Maybe a hostel but I'm not sure. If you will have a car with you, you should consider NJ or Queens, NY instead. You should be able to find a room for $120-$130 per night.

    Oh yes, sorry. Regarding Seacaucus, the area is not great but it is reasonably safe. The bus may run infrequently on Sundays, otherwise it is a good choice. Try to find something as close to the bridge as possible.

    Bon chance
