Priceline Hotel: 3* Newark (Jersey City) Hyatt Regency

[indywaiter]

I tried up to $45 last week with no luck. I was impatient tonite after trying $40 went right for $55 and was accepted! I am excited but cant help but wonder did I over pay? Whatever the case I have never paid less than this for a room in NYC.

You're going to have a tremendous view of the NYC fireworks from this hotel.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Indeed this will be a nice location for July 4th. Not sure where the fireworks will be this year (if they'll split them once again and have some in Battery Park) but no matter there are always some sort of display on the west side of Manhattan (even if it's not July 4th itself).

I forget if the odd/even rooms face north or south but it's noted at RealHotelPhotos.com if you want to check it out and make a request upon check-in.

Enjoy your stay and thank you for sharing this win with the rest of the board.

I am curious about parking in Jersey City. Do the parking meters work on Saturday? I would assume that they dont but some citys do. I will be staying at the Hyatt Jersey city and I know parking is $15 for self parking. I also know that parking at the Candlewood Suites is FREE to guests, so my question is does Candlewood suites offer parking passes to guests or do you just park and no one asks any questions? If anyone has any info please reply to this post. Many thanks in advance.

I stayed at the Candlewood last year, they have a controlled lot and you need a room key to get in and out. Even at the Doubletree, a block away from the Candlewood, has an open lot but you need to get a parking pass from the front desk and hang it on your mirror, or your car could get towed. At any rate, these hotels are not that close to the Hyatt. The $15 self park does not allow for in-out privledges, and it is about a block away from the Hyatt. I will leave the question about parking meters on Saturday to thereuare, but I doubt that it is free. Park the car for your entire stay and add the $15 parking fee to the room rate of $55 and at $70 you still have a terriffic deal. :)

You won't be able to park at the Candlewood Suites... if it were unregulated everyone in the local office buildings would park there and there would be no space for guests (or you).

The meters are in effect on Saturday (i believe, i'll double check next time i'm in the area) but not on Sundays.
