Good evening. :)

Unfortunately, rates are high for these dates (and the overall Winter period.) I'm guessing that a 4* NYC win in one of the Midtown zones for these dates is going to take as much as $200-225 (and possibly as much as $240-250+) per night for these dates.

What would be your desired budget per night?

No particular budget in mind - basically trading off a Meadowlands NJ at around $60/night vs. a hopeful NY downtown for near $100-ish

Tried again today: $95 MTE, then $100 MTW+MTE

Very unlikely, I know but trying is free!

East Rutherford @ $50 failed

East Rutherford + Jersey City @ $55 failed

bidding is free, but there could be a lost opportunity "cost" to you when PRICELINE room inventory is sold off due to hotels selling rooms through conventional means.

It appears that HOTWIRE has the Sheraton Meadowlands for $79, so I think you're close at $55.

Sure, but when I see successful bids for $55 and $58... :)

$55 for Meadowlands (rejected)

$58 for Meadowlands + Jersey City (rejected)

rates are date specific, did you see any winning bids for your dates of travel? You keep making the same bids and getting the same result. I think you are close since the HOTWIRE rate is $79, but you will need to increase your bid a bit.

Tried again yesterday:

10/26 to 10/30, Meadowlands, $55 rejected

10/26 to 10/30, Meadowlands + Jersey City $58 rejected

10/26 to 10/29, Meadowlands, $58 rejected

10/26 to 10/29, Meadowlands + Jersey City, $63 rejected

[joespud]

10/26 to 10/28, Meadowlands, $58 rejected

10/26 to 10/28, Meadowlands + Jersey City $63 rejected

10/26 to 10/27, Meadowlands + Jersey City $66 rejected

10/27 to 10/30, Meadowlands + Jersey City $63 rejected

Looks like it is not to be!

Booked 10/26 to 10/29 using Hotwire (and bb-link) since Sheraton is saying $189 full price.

10/29 - 10/30 is only $139, so will continue trying...

[joespud]

Tried and tried with PRICELINE in the mid 50s and 60s, finally went with HOTWIRE.

Used the HOTWIRE link.

Will try for 10/29 - 10/30 still on PRICELINE...

The amenities were as listed in the hotel list - 7 with the last being Golf

It was listed as 3* in Hotwire

Everything was spot-on - thanks Betterbidding.com!

Please list the amenities as it serves as a historical record for the amenities at this point in time for if/when the amenities change (and therefore the hotel list changes as well)

Thanks.
