Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Trenton-Princeton (Princeton West) Hyatt Regency

[LPines]

Hotel prices are up this fall in Princeton area. Usual $40-$42 successful Hyatt Princeton bid (last 3-4 years) is no longer accepted. Priceline has re-shuffled the sub-markets and a few properties have dropped from Princeton West, leaving only Hyatt and the Chauncy Conf. Center in the 3.5* class (Hyatt Place at 3* ironically requires higher bids than Regency Class across the road ! Go figure).

After reading about successful bids in low-$50's (and wondering why), I tried the usual $40, $41, and $42 bids with no success, and got offer for $60 bid, which I declined.

Added Mt.Holly and then Cookstown, for free re-bids, and increased from $50 to $51, both rejected. Accepted at $52, just as the recent posts reflect.

Perhaps Princeton East/Monmouth have properties at 3/3.5* level accepting in the 40's..... don't know. There are more hotels grouped in P'ton East now.
