I tried $60 first and was given the option to increase bid by $27 ($87) to immediately bid again but I declined I bumped it up to $80 ($20 more instead of $27) and it got accepted Hindsight I should've tried $70 or $65 next but I was already in the city and I wasn't planning on staying the night there, so I kind of rushed it and panicked This forum is great help. Thanks everyone!

thanks for having this site, betterbidding. helped me out the last 2 years in a row. i tried getting secaucus, NJ as the previous 2 years i stayed there and just saw that the Courtyard by Marriot in Secaucus (the hotel i stayed in 2 yrs running) was recently renovated in 2011. no dice...went up to $125 and still nothing. i called it quits and looked in the Courtyard by Marriot in Lyndhurst, NJ which was 10 mins away. renovated in 2008. it is the only 3 star hotel according to the masterlist on this forum. started at $80 and went to $88 and got offered to increase bid. i didn't. i went back at $90 and got upgraded to this hotel b/c it's 3.5 stars. i'm a SPG member and sheraton hotels are part of SPG chain/group...only bad thing is that no free wifi in the rooms...have to pay $9.95 if you want it. i wouldn't have minded the marriot hotel as there's free wifi in the room. $90 (bid) + $21.65 (taxes/fees) = $111.65 total the Sheraton site wanted $129 + taxes/charges = $148.35 total i saved 25%. thanks guys.

No problem. I will be staying for Saturday and Sunday Oct 15 & 16. Thanks for having this forum!

got it at $72 first i tried 4* then 3.5* then 3* i saw other posts getting a 3* around $65 so my win was not that far off. thanks to betterbidding for the wealth of information! the only thing i don't like about priceline is that the total is not only $72, there is a tax and fee of $20.39 which brings my total to $92.39. i knew what the total was going to be before clicking on the "purchase my hotel button", but i just wish there was no fee involved...hehe
