dahammer Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Encountered plenty of rejections for a same day bid in the Somerset-Piscataway zone, had bid up to $68 at the 2.5* and 3* level in the Bridgewater-Somerville, East Brunswick-Edison, Edison Woodbridge, and Somerset-Piscataway zones. Checked Hotwire and it had a 3* best value for $54, but made one final bid at the 2* level in Somerset for $52 and was successful. Previously rejected bid was $48.Your Offer Price: $52.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $14.90 Total Charges: $66.90 have yet to stay here, but I've used the free wifi in the lobby in the past, just hope the rooms are nicer than the rest of the hotel. Sports bar in the Lobby is fair based on a few lunches in the past, I think it gets most of its business from the nearby industrial park. The rate on the Ramada website is $109 and the roomsaver.com coupon rate is $69. I guess I should be pleased with my winning bid, but I just can't get too excited about any Ramada.

biddingforhotel Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 This is a bit high; I thought you can get $33 for the 3* Somerset Marriott
dahammer Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Posted January 13, 2006 that was a marathon session, I was worn out from all the bidding, went up to $68 and no luck. Monday-Wednesday nights are difficult for a same day bid as hotels have high occupancy levels. I even bid in the Parsippany zones with no luck, up to $65, trying to get the Courtyard, but was unsuccessful.
biddingforhotel Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 Did you try Edison Clarion Hotel? 2.5* at $35 always got it, weekends or weekdays ...
dahammer Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Posted January 14, 2006 no, I really did not want to stay in Edison for this trip, but this sounds like a nice hotel at my kind of price!PS, check out this buffet next time you're near SomersetChina Pagoda Halal Buffet Chinese 19 Route 22 East & Rock Avenue,Green Brook, NJ 08812the place was packed during a recent lunch
