sageblue Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 We'd like to have a place to crash after seeing friends next Saturday and would prefer to spend less than $100. We will be driving up from Philadelphia, but plan on taking public transit to get into the city, so we'd like to stay near a PATH or NJT station, but, since we have the car, we are flexible.Right now, the best deal on Hotwire is $70 for a 3.5* in Edison (Restaurant, pool, exercise, business) which I assume is the Sheraton; ideally, we'd like the Hyatt in Jersey City, but nothing above a 2* is showing on Hotwire so I don't know how much luck we'd have on Priceline.Anyway, any bidding strategy you could provide would be most appreciated!

dahammer Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 it looks like the Crowne Plaza in Secaucus is available for $81 on Hotwire. This is a good location for access to NYC. The reviews on tripadvisor are mixed, but I have stayed here and it is fine for one night. Using Priceline, you might be able to get this for $65, select Secaucus-North Bergen 3*. If that fails, you may want to increase by $5 and add the Jersey City Zone.Edison-New Brunswick is about a 30-45 minute train ride into the city, and the hotels in this zone typically have low occupancy on weekends, so you might get lucky in this zone with a $40 bid for a 3* property. It is not as convenient as Jersey City or Secaucus Link to comment
