Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Tinton Falls (Tinton Falls-Eatontown-Long Branch) Sheraton

[dc3]

I used this site's PRICELINE link to start. I had been bidding for this zone for a few weeks. I also noted from Hotwire that more deals do not become available as the date gets closer (I've noticed in the past that some places, particularly Marriott affiliates, open up for bids two weeks out). I logged in and saw that there was now a 3.5* in the TF zone and that level had the "best deal" icon. The Sheraton had been 3* in previous posts. I bid $65 and received a counteroffer to $78 and did not take it. Now, Hotwire has a 3* for $76 (with 100 % satisfaction!) and it could be the same place but Priceline is usually at least 20% lower. So I added the Hazlet zone and bid $70, which as accepted, which makes me think that Hotwire is for another property. The advance purchase (no cancel) rate on the Sheraton site is $125 and the rack rates are $160-180. Government rate is $118. This is a lot of information because this is one of those zones that comes up rarely and I had little to go on. Priceline's bid reports for the region only showed recent wins in Neptune-Wall.

There is an error in the heading of the post - the successful bid was $70 not $68.

Congrats on your success. :)

Nice deal for this Sheraton property, and thank you for letting us know about the change in star rating for this PRICELINE property so that we can update the site's Priceline Hotel List.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.
