dahammer Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 started a same day bid through Savingsbarn.com and selected the Newark Zone, bid $48 at the 3* level, hoping that a "lowball" bid might yield the Hilton. Increased bid to $50 and added Elizabeth as a rebid zone, rejected. Increased bid to $55 and added Jersey City hoping that the Hyatt (which was $112 on Hotwire) would not accept, Rejected. Finally increased bid to $60 and took a risk by adding Clark as a rebid zone (thought the risk of the Clark Crowne Plaza accepting this bid was low) and won the Doubletree. Your Offer Price: $60.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $16.99 Total Charges: $76.99 My big gripe with this property is that High Speed internet (wired or wireless) is $10 and parking is $12, but the direct rate with Doubletree is $149, so I'm pleased with the results.
thereuare Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Even with parking and internet, you're probably still at sub-$100 "all-in"... so not too bad for this area.Thanks for the post and for using the SB links :)Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
