My last rejected bid was $55. 60 got accepted. Yes, it is the Secaucus property, very nice. I suppose I could have saved a couple of bucks a night at the Hyatt in JC, but I'm plenty happy here. Thanks for all of the help

Actually, I avoided Jersey City all together because of the parking situation. Other than that, I basically did the bids as you suggested. I had to add the 2.5 stars and up the money becuase I was running out of things to change on the bid. Thanks again for all of your help. I will be sure to post reviews on the site from all over.

well, I guess it's a really really high demand time of year. I made arrangements to stay with friends the first few days, then I was ACCEPTED for Courtyard by Marriott for $60 from December 11th for the rest of the period. All of the lower bids were rejected. Thanks for all of your help! Chris

Sorry for the delay, I have been travelling back to the east coast over the last two days. Yes, I did the bids for the 2.5 star that you suggested, rejected.

Didn't work for any of the stratagies. I dont mind waiting (now 48 hours) to retry. Maybe we can find a strategy for a 2.5 stars? Thanks, Chris

Great, thanks. I will let you know how it goes later today.

Thanks for the info about Candlewood being mostly sold out. I'd probably rather stay in the Meadowlands area, Secaucus or E Rutherford. As far as splitting up, might be willing to split up that week of 13-21 if you think it will help. Since parking is no problem in that area, I guess any of the usual properties would be fine. Wellsley would be my last choice. Thanks again, you are very helpful

Thanks for the quick reply. My dates are a little flexible. I'll be working in both NYC and North Jersey during the time. I can get there as late as December 9. I can also split the bid into December 9 - 12, then December 13-21 (or even 20 if need be). Will that help? Thanks thereuare!

Wow, just registered for this GREAT board. A wealth of useful info, easy to navigate, nice work. I am looking to priceline a room for December 8 to December 21. I will have a car, so I know that some of the Jersey City options are not ideal. Candlewood looks great, especially to have a kitchen and free parking. Any suggestions on how to start the process (price/locations)? I guess Candlewood is my first choice, but Secaucus or E. Rutherford would be more than fine. (I lived in Rutherford for a few years). Thanks for the help. Chris
