belmont101 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hi -- I am looking for bidding help on a hotel room in Jersey City for the 17th (Friday) and 18th (Saturday) in November. I would prefer to stay in the Double Tree or Hyatt but would consider a 2.5 or even a 2 star if the price differentail was substantial.Thanks Link to comment

belmont101 Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I have no idea of its realistic, but ideally would like to keep the bid under $100, will go to $150 but may consider dropping it to one night instead of two. Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 When bidding 3* in jersey city you have one re-bid zone available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 3* Jersey City...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

belmont101 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Just an update on this, I reserved a back-up room at the Jersey City Marriott Courtyard for $174 that can be canceled up until the day of check-in.I have repeatedly tried bidding in the $80 to $90 range for 3 star and 2.5 star hotels in Jersey City with no luck (I think one time I tried up to $110). I will Continue to try in this range up until our trip. (We are now just looking for something the night of the 18th).This is for a trip to NYC so would consider Manhattan as well but I believe the prices will be higher there.I'll let you know what happens.(I have used the savings barn links).

belmont101 Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi I am not sure how to update this thread with a result, but after reserving a back-up room at the Marriott Court Yard Jersey City for $174 (no cancelation penalty made directly through the Marriott web site) I finally won the Double Tree Jersey City for $90 for the night of Saturday Nov. 18. I had been trying since my original post bidding everywhere from $75 up to $110 with no luck until this past Tuesday. I did not try any lower bid just put in the $90 and it was acccepted.I used the Savings Barn link. Thanks . . my first time using Price Line (will not be the last!) Link to comment
