Thanks everyone for answering my questions. I'm not able to bid any hotel room through priceline. So, at the end, I booked the Days Hotel Newark Airport from their official website. As I do a research, it's 4 min. drive to the Newark Penn Station. So, I'll park at the Penn station and take the path to NYC. Can anyone give me some advice as to take the path all the way to World Trade Center and take the subway back to midtown is more convenience or should I transfer to the Yellow Line @ the Journal Square and take off at the 33rd street? Which way can help me to save more time? Also, can anyone tell me how to get to the Battery Park from the World Trade Center Path station? As I plan to visit the Statue of liberty and the departure location is at the Battery park. Thanks very much! Next time, I'll definitely plan my trip earlier so that I can bid on priceline.

Yes, cos my budget is around $100/night include tax and parking!

Thx for the info, dahammer and thereuare. No wonder I'm not able to bid any hotel within the Secaucus. Since last night, I've already tried to split up the days by bidding Dec 6, Dec 7 and Dec 8 separately. I tried to include the zone of Jersey City for a 3* and 2.5* hoping to get either the Hyatt Regency or the Courtyard by Marriott but with no luck. I did tried to bid the zone of Rutherford as well, still got rejected. I'm planning to continue my bid in priceline, as I'm not familiar with hotwire. I'm fix on the travel date of Dec 6 - Dec 9, but I don't mind splitting up the days if I'm able to stay over at a zone that is close to the NYC. If I'm really know able to find a hotel in Jersey city / Rutherford, then, I may have to try bidding the area of the Newark Airport. Which will require me a long time for commute, as I do not plan to drive into the NYC. Heard that transportation time is roughly an hr from the Airport to NYC. :) Any suggestions? Thanks very much!

Failed in bidding a 3* hotel within the Secaucus - North Bergen by trying to bid @ $70, $75, and $80.... Maybe I should consider living in other zone now...

Oh.... Hyatt place is sold out.. :) and I was looking forward to stay in the hotel since I knew it just renovated... I guess my backup plan is to try bidding the 3* Secaucus Holiday Inn Harmon Meadow. As I knew there'll be a $8 parking fees/night, is it possible to try bidding this hotel @ $65? Or cos time is running out, I should try bidding it @$80? Thanks very much!

I've tried to bid the 2.5* Secaucus for the days of 12/06 - 12/09 with the price of $75 -> failed Rebid again with a 3* hotel for $80 -> failed again. Not sure if I'm booking it at the last min. As I really want to bid the 2.5* Hyatt Place and it seems everyone is able to bid it with the price of $75. Can anyone provide me some suggestions. Thanks very much! I do plan to stay in the Secaucus area as I heard there's bus stop rt in front of the hotel to get to the NYC.
