Hotwire Hotel: 4* Newark (Jersey City) Hyatt Regency on the Hudson

[cathy2006]

Hi,

This is a fantastic site! :)

I'm going to New York February 10th for 3 nights (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and would like to try staying in Jersey City at the Hyatt or Doubletree.

I would love to stay at the Hyatt though and would be willing to pay a bit more (up to $25?) if it will somehow increase my chances.

Thank you!

There is a 4* on Hotwire for $83/nite for your dates, presumed to be the Hyatt.

Do you want to take that or try bidding on Priceline?

[cathy2006]

That is a great price! Thank you! :)

I'm thinking of just booking this, unless there you think there is a good chance I could get it for less on Priceline (but I guess there is the risk I'd end up with the Doubletree?).

Thanks!

If you really want the Hyatt, you should take the Hotwire deal as conventional rates are $169 and $199 for your dates of travel. If you submit a Priceline bid, you could get the Doubletree, a decent property, but its just not as nice as the Hyatt. There is one rebid zone at the 3* Level (Elizabeth) so if you feel like rolling the dice, you could bid $60 or $65 with Hotwire as a fallback plan. Hotel availability changes daily, so any offer from HW could change.

Thank you for that suggestion.

I decided to book it with Hotwire via savingsbarn.com. It was $85 per night for the 3 nights.

Thanks for your help!
