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

[Patty42day]

Hi! Since I can't afford NYC, I really want to stay at the Hyatt Jersey City where I stayed last year early March (it was a GREAT hotel - especially at $47), but I haven't seen any recent winning posts on this one and now there's also Doubletree at 3* now too (don't think there was concern about that last year) - but I don't want that one as it doesn't sound nearly as nice or convenient.

Think I'll have any luck with this one? What chance is there that I could get Doubletree?

Should I play it safe and go through Hotwire since that one is shown as 4* and more of a safe bet?

Any suggestions appreciated!

Yes, you could get the Doubletree, so if you absolutely don't want that property then you should go with the safer, albeit slightly more expensive option of Hotwire.

If you prefer to try to bid for it let us know and we'll suggest a strategy.

:) Woo hoo! Got it!

Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson

Fri., March 24 - Sun., March 26

2 nights ($76 per night) $152.00

Taxes & Fees $27.21

Total Cost $179.21

Yea! This is a really nice hotel. Now, the rate isn't as good as $47 last year on Priceline, but better than anything else around and as close to NYC as I can get without spending lots of $$$$. I'll save that for the shows and food!

I tried Priceline first today at $47, then re-bid at $52. I didn't want to go higher and take a chance with Doubletree, so I figure this is a safer bet, plus I have that $10 Entertainment Book rebate, so it's all good! Regular going rate at the Hyatt is $179, so basically got two nights for the price of one.

Thank you Better Bidding!

Oops! Correction - Sorry, it's a 4* not 3*
