jesstimes2 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Hello all!We are staying at the Hyatt again! This time for Valentine's Day weekend. But we have a question...$37 bid accepted on first attempt (Priceline)!Check-In Date: Friday, February 11, 2005Check-Out Date: Sunday, February 13, 2005 Hotel Name: Hyatt Regency Jersey City On The Hudson2 Exchange Place Jersey City, New Jersey 07302 201-469-1234Your Offer Price: $37.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2Subtotal: $74.00Taxes & Service Fees: $18.15Total Charges: $92.15So my question is...we will be getting to Jersey City around 3:00 PM on Friday...We need to park the car somewhere...anywhere!!! We don't really care how far it is (within reason), we just need it to be as cheap as possible!!! We basically just want to dump our car somewhere until Sunday. We aren't going to be using it at all. Does anyone have any advice? Let us know!!! We would really appreciate it!~Jessie & Jesse Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Congratulations on your win!Did you bid this on the date posted... as the $37 rate has been getting a bit harder to come by lately, we're trying to ascertain any trends that may indicate when available (of course if you bid this weeks ago then it was at a time when the $37 rate was more prevalent).I dont' know of any parking in the immediate area by the townhouses (as i think it's zoned as 'residential permit parking' only). I believe the meters by the hotel are in effect on Saturday but not Sunday, but by 3pm you may be able to get away with feeding the meter until 6pm or 7pm when they expire, then not have to worry about it until the following morning.If you had a bit north (towards Shop Rite/Target... just ask at the hotel), once you pass the traffic light just before Staples, i believe there is on the street parking, unmetered, good from 7pm (maybe 6pm) Friday until 6am Monday morning. (double-check the signs, but i believe it's "No Parking 6am-7pm Monday thru Friday").I may be in this area in the next few days and if so, i'll be sure to get a better look at the signs and update this post (assuming of course you update us with when you bid this :) ) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
jesstimes2 Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 We won this back on 01/03/05. Sorry for the confusion!Do you happen to know of any lots that are around that aren't ridiculously expensive? That would be fine too. :)Thanks!!!~Jessie & Jesse Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Depends upon your definition of 'ridiculously expensive' :) The Hyatt has a self-park for about $18 with validation... not sure where that lies in the spectrum of obscene.Thanks for clarifying the bid date... i was actually hoping it was recent as that would give more hope to the $37 rate being more readily available, but i have a feeling that rates at this property are gonig to be a bit higher going forward (yet still be a fantastic deal).

richmond Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 The Hyatt Regency's website says that their self-park is $15USD/day for hotel guests (no in and out). I guess you need a real insider who knows this area that could suggest cheaper parking. But that rate is really not that high. There might be a way you could park at a trainstation on the outskirts in NJ for cheap or nothing and then take the train in. But I don't know if this is possible or where you could do it....Maverick Link to comment
dahammer Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 this garage is about a block away, better to drop your luggage off at the curb and pull into the lot down the street. $15 was the rate in November, and getting directions from the front desk was an effort. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Went to the BAJA tonite for dinner so checked out the street parking while i was there.There is parking on the street about 1 mile north of the hotel. Signs states no parking 7am-6pm Monday-Friday... so if you could get a spot on Friday at 6pm you'd could leave it there the entire weekend (double check the signs where ever you park just to make sure)... this area is by the Newport Residences, Target and Staples stores. To get back to the hotel you could walk (20 minutes?) or take the LightRail from Newport Mall to the Exchange Place stop.
