First time poster, though longtime lurker (belated thanks to all who've helped via their own posts). I need to spend several weeks in Jersey City, NJ, from about 7/19-8/11, and want to get a suite, namely Candlewood Suites. I don't think I can get it on Hotwire, as the amenities listed for available hotels do not match those listed here. So, I'm looking at Priceline, but am not sure it's the only 2* that's biddable on Priceline. There are several other 2* hotels in the area that can be had via the non-opaque method. However, Candlewood seems to be the only such place that has been listed as one of the hotels won via bidding. I have two questions: 1. Is it fairly safe to assume that the Candlewood Suites is the only 2* hotel available via bidding on Priceline? I have not yet had any success with bids up to $99 (for a "trial" weekend of 7/19-7/21 or 7/22), and want to avoid going much higher unless I can be confident I'm not getting the Ramada or some other place. 2. Am I mistaken that it's not currently available on Hotwire, for that late July-early August period? Maybe the amenity list is incomplete, but I suspect that Hotwire is listing a different hotel. Many thanks!
