purplelotus Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Won yesterday. Used $25 bonus money from PRICELINE so cost to me only $60/night. Total cost including taxes and fees is $501.62. Used Better Bidding link. Won on first bid so possibly overpaid a bit. However, bonus money was expiring last night, and there were no rebid zones. Nevertheless, I think it's a great deal. Hotel gets a good rating on Hotels.com, and LaQuinta has decent free breakfasts.Made several other unsuccessful bids at higher star levels and more money over the course of three days (when I first got bonus money). Bid up to $80 ($83.57 with bonus) for 3.5* in both Secaucus and Jersey City zones. Bid up to $77 ($80.57 with bonus) for 3* in Secaucus and Jersey City. Never received a counteroffer. Have won both Holiday Inn and Hyatt Place in previous years in Secaucus zone at lower prices. We like that area since there is a bus to Port Authority for about $4 which takes 15-30 minutes depending on traffic and runs frequently. Decided to go down to 2.5* since I was reaching the limit of what I wanted to spend. This is a great area to stay in for visiting New York City and keeping one's costs down.
