Priceline Hotel: 3* Newark (Jersey City) Doubletree

[CBC373]

for may 19-22, got rejected at 125, added free bid and still got rejected at 130. what is a realistic price for those nights? i think rooms are tight on those nights since no 2* or 2.5* available also.

I have been bidding for the past several days for May 19 and 20, 2* / 2.5* / 3* Jersey City with no luck. My bids ranged from USD80-158. Today it seems luck was on my side. First bid USD130 and i was told to add USD22. I closed the screen and rebid at USD140 and got it.

Its higher than what I wanted to pay but at least its cheaper than staying at the same hotel at USD239 per night or USD180 per night at Courtyard Jersey City if I had not won this bid.

Thanks to priceline and savingsbarn / betterbidding. Learned a lot and will continue to use these websites when I travel again.

Glad to hear you were successful.

It's bee a tough Spring for the NYC metro and prices are currently very high and as you point out, this seems pretty good compared to the alternatives you were facing.

Thanks for posting your win to the board and for using the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
