thereuare Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Jersey City is certainly the most convenient.Another user raves about New Brunswick (i think) and taking the NJ Transit train, but i don't recommend that as the train ride is about an hour, making it a bit inconvenient.You could start to consider the area around the Meadowlands as most hotels are convenient to a bus stop which should only be a 20-30 minute ride into the city, but you do run the risk of landing a hotel that is not very convenient to a bus.You really haven't said what your budget it is so it's hard to advise... could/would you bid over $100?

thereuare Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 At the 3* level in Jersey City you have one re-bid zone available.Since splitting your bid is ok, I would bid the following for the last nite of your stay:Select 3* Jersey City...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65.Then for the other two nites you'll probably have to move outside of the JC area, but there is probably a NYC hotel available for the low $100's, which may be an option if you can stretch your budget.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Shea77 Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 You said $80-100 - there have been many Priceline wins recently for $100-$110. in Manhattan itself. Check the New York thread. Link to comment
br0ckr Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I've looked but have not seen any winning bids in Jersey city or NYC during the time of April, 5-8. If you could point me in the right direction that would be great... or any other hints would be helpful.... Thanks Link to comment
br0ckr Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hyatt Jersey City First bid $80 for dates 4/7/06 - 4/9/06 and got it. Then they told me I could extend my stay by 2 nights before or after but not both... that was perfect because I was splitting my bid and I was arriving on 4-5-06 my total was $495 for 4 nights... I'm happy with that price. Thanks for all the help from this site... Link to comment
Daniel1978 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Did you get the nights you extended for the same price of $80 ? Your grand total of $495 seems like you got the extended nights for a higher price, certainly aroud $120 to $135 (which still yould be a great price for weekdays on the Hyatt).Kind regards,Daniel Link to comment
br0ckr Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Yes I got all nights for $80 that was my total price ... with all the taxes that they add in Link to comment
