thereuare Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I don't think you have a high probability of success, but what what are your priorities...Do you want to try for the 3.5* in Cape May up to your maximum first before trying for a 3* in Somers Point OR are you looking for the least expensive between the two zones?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Jerseyguy Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I decieded that Cape May was preferable than getting a cheap hotel in Ocean City. I also raised my max price. Tried Cape May/Wildwood 3.5*-$89 REJECTEDAdded Vineland/Millville 3.5-$99 REJECTEDAdded Atlantic City West 3.5- $109 REJECTEDAdded Somers Point 3.5-$119 RejectedCounter Offer add $22 for $141- I rejectedStarted overChanged Date to 6/15-6/16 $129 REJECTEDadd Vineland/Millville $139 ACCEPTED Cape May/Wildwood 3.5*Congress Hall251 Beach AvenueCape May, NJ 08204609-884-8421 Check-In: Monday, June 15, 2009-03:00 PMCheck-Out: Tuesday, June 16, 2009-12:00 PMSummary of Charges Room Cost (avg. per room, per night):$139.00 (USD)Number of Rooms:1Number of Nights:1Room Subtotal:$139.00 (USD)Taxes and Fees:$30.80 (USD)Total Room Cost:$169.80 (USD)Sucessful in adding a night (6/14) New Stay 6/14-6/16I got a little over excited and bid out of what I wanted to spend but I don't think I could have gotten it for less than $135 being that $129 was rejected. Saved in the neighborhood of $75-80 for the stay and I got the hotel I wanted so I guess it all worked out. Link to comment

Jerseyguy Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I knew it was the season I just thought maybe it would be cheap due to the fact it was during the week and not on a weekend. Link to comment
