robideauvt Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 I was able to get a successful bid on the DoubleTree Hotel in Jersey City for 1 night checking in on Nov 26.Accepted Bid $110.00 + 25.16 taxes & Fees for a total cost of $135.16.Although priceline asked if I wanted a second night for the same rate, I was not successful when I tried to extend to Nov 27th. I did not ask for both nights originally because I previously had booked both nights at the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel in Secaucus as a backup. I wanted to see the hotel before I committed our whole stay. We have never stayed at either and I do not have personal experience with either area. Seems like Doubletree in Jersey City is the better location. What do you think? I liked the fact that this forum helped provide information for me to make an educated guess on the potential hotel and location. I wanted to be close to the PATH train system. I was hoping for the Hyatt but thought that that was a slim chance based on this time of year. I would like transportation suggestions into NYC from this location. We would like to go pay our respects to ground zero. Should I consider the ferry? We will also have tickets on Nov 27 for Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. I am assuming the Path Train system is the best way to get there from the Doubletree.
blindman Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 The Doubletree is in a better location for easy access to NYC.Look at the Travel Wiki for travel information from there, using the PATH.The Priceline New York Map show that the Doubletree is nearest to the PAVONIA\NEWPORT PATH station.
dahammer Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 what are your plans for November 27th? The Hilton Garden Inn is a nice hotel, going into the city, a NJ Tranist Bus makes pick ups in front of the parking lot. The return trip will leave you off at the nearby Home Depot and is about a 5 minute walk, not very convenient. You would be better off staying at the Hyatt Place, Holiday Inn, LaQuinta Suites in the Mill Creek Center; all of these hotels (including the Hilton Garden Inn) may be booked through the Travel Links to Help Support BetterBidding
