Does anyone know which hotel you will get when bidding on a 3* hotel on proceline for Tinton Falls/Eatontown/Long Branch ?

What are your dates of travel?

My date of travel is Nov 13-14

this 3* has not yet been reported. There is a Sheraton in Eatontown, but I'm not sure if this is the Priceline 3* as no one has reported it. But at the 2.5* level, the reported hotels are: Residence Inn and Sunrise Suites. I won the Sunrise Suites in January @ $48, but I think it will take a bit more to win it. This hotel is worn, but includes breakfast and a Manager's Reception (not sure if its available on weekends) that features complimentary beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks.

Your stay is a Sunday night, most hotels are fairly empty, and you have about 10 days before your stay, so you you should start around $65 at the 3* level and $50 at the 2.5 *level. There are no rebid zones in this area, so if your bid fails, you will need to lower your star rating, change dates, or wait 72 hours.

I had recently won the Holiday Inn, Tinton Falls using Hotwire, this is rated as a 2.5* and the rate was $78; the rate for your dates is $81 and this is a decent property, I would definately stay here again; great staff, free WiFi, nice room.

I was wondering if it might possibly be the oceanplace resort in Long Branch

that property has not been reported on this board, but do let us know the results of your bid, you should have a good chance of success since yours is a Sunday night stay near the Jersey Shore with the water temperatures in the low 50's, not exactly beach weather :)

I did not bid on it. I ended up booking direct with Long Branch Ocean Spa hotel
