Welcome to BetterBidding!

Have you already won the Doubletree or are you hoping to bid in the near future and hoping to win this property?

All PRICELINE reservations are guaranteed for double occupancy, with no indication of bed type. Many hotels will try to accomodate your request for room type configuration, but in some instances the hotel may be unable, or unwilling, to do so (or if they can accomodate your request then there may be an extra charge involved)

If you need (vs. want) more than one bed in the room then HOTWIRE may be a better option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy, ensuring sleeping accomodations for everyone you include in your group (although quad occupancy could still mean one bed plus a pullout sofabed, one bed and a rollaway, etc)

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Please let us know if you've won the hotel above already, and if not, how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.

Thank you dor your reply, I will try to use HOTWIRE to search. :)

Do note that the Jersey City zone on HOTWIRE extends to the west and includes Route 1&9 (also known as Tonnelle Ave) and this is not the area of Jersey City you want to stay in for easy access to Manhattan... you want to be in the waterfron area.

Let us know what you turn up on HOTWIRE and we'll try to help.

I had cheek Westin website to review the price on 12/3/2009~12/7/2009, and this data is not expensive than 11/26~11/30,

11/26 is Thanksgiving Day, I think is should be more expensive than December first. :)

Go back th the Westin and check again:

12/3-12/7: $232/nite

11/26-11/30: $176/nite

Not may business travellers during Thanksgiving week, which is why the dates around Thanksgiving may not be as expensive as you think.
