thereuare Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Since you may win a different hotel for each stay, we'll use this thread for your 8/19-8/21 stay and once its complete please start a NEW TOPIC for your 8/23-8/25 stay.Do you know this area at all in that your not including the (Saddle Brook-Hasbrouck Heights) zone in your bidding? There are areas of this zone that are not that close to Palisades Park... but not any further than the similar edge of the Paramus zone.What star rating are you seeking? What is your maximum bid amount? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
rcmelcher Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Posted July 18, 2006 I was hoping to have 3, 2 1/2 in the rance of $50/60. Hopint to stay in the 15-20 minute range of palisades park. From Iowa, so not familiar with area.
thereuare Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 If you go to Priceline you can see the zones... and Palisades Park, although not in any of the zones, is written on the map (look to the lower left just below the Teaneck/Ft. Lee zone... and below the Rt.95 highway symbol on the map).Google Maps puts Elmwood Park (the western most edge of the Saddle Brook/Hasbrouck Heights) to Palisades Park at 16 minutes... but not sure if price or proximity is more important to you (the Teaneck/Ft. Lee zone is probably the closest). So....Let us know if you want to bid your maximum for the Teaneck/Ft. Lee zone and then, if rejected, try for the other zone(s); or if price is more important and the cheapest price within those zones are close enough and acceptable.If you want to add other zone(s), let us know if you only want to stick with the first two zones you mentioned or if you also want to include the Saddle Brook/Hasbrouck Heights zone).Once we know the above we'll be in a position to best advise you on a bidding strategy.
