Scored the Doubletree Somerset Exec. Meeting Center for $40. Got declined at a previous offer of $35. Of note, this hotel used to be 3.5 stars and is now 3 stars. There are no 3.5 star hotels in the Somerset region, so the Crowne Plaza (which is no longer a Crowne Plaza) was downgraded too. Also, the region names for this area on the map/hotel list don't seem to line up with what Priceline is calling them. I think Priceline re-did them.

Looking for a 3.5* hotel 1) Somerset - Piscataway - S. Plainfield - $30 (Not Accepted - Offered immediate rebid if I bid $45) 2) Added Basking Ridge - $35 (Accepted) Ended up with Doubletree Somerset Exec. Meeting Center. Not what I expected, as I've done this bid before several times and always got the Crowne Plaza, but it looks nice nonetheless. Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $35.00 Subtotal: $35.00 Taxes & Fees: $12.53 Total Charges*: $47.53

3* Norfolk-Virginia Beach (Virginia Beach) Holiday Inn Virginia Beach-Exec Center Amenities: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry

Sorry about that, guess there is a character limit for the title. The hotel is Crowne Plaza Somerset. If I could figure out how to edit the title, I would fix it, but I am not seeing the option (perhaps I'm just missing it).
