I have a budget of $229 per night, so I bid $229 per night for 2* and higher everywhere in Manhattan (except Upper East/West Side) and in Jersey City, NJ -- with no luck. Then I added the Secaucus - North Bergen area and got my bid accepted. As it turned out, I could have had a room at this hotel for $210 per night, directly through the hotel Web site.

you should contact PRICELINE and request a refund of $19 per night, OR, you may want to contact PRICELINE and ask if they will allow you a one time opportunity to let you rebid in this zone for your exact dates of travel for a $25 fee. The highest reported winning bid for this hotel is $113, although this bid amount was not for your dates of travel.
