I have stayed there for a conference a few years ago. It is really nice! Gorgeous views of the harbor. It is a bit of a walk to the Inner Harbor area, but if you are in reasonable shape, it shouldn't be a problem. You got a great rate! Check out the reviews on TripAdvisor.

I have never used PriceLine. How do you get a place close the pier (FLL)? Is there a way to do a search with free shuttle?

First, you want to go to the right forum: Florida Priceline.

Second, please take some time and review the following web sites: betterbidding.com and biddingfortravel.com. It may be a little confusing at first, but you can check out "areas", icons = amenities, recently booked hotels at what bid price, etc.

Check out "your Roll Call" thread; cruisline, ship, your sailing date. If you don't find one already started, remember some people input dates differently; example Dec. 25, December 25, 2012, 12/25/2012, etc.

Have fun learning a lot. Keep in mind, once you bid on Priceline and it is accepted, you have bought and paid for the hotel stay. If you need more than one bed or room, Hotwire may be better for you.

Baltimore Marriott Hunt Valley Inn

3 Star

December 31st

$50.00 on priceline.

Anyone bid on hotels in Newark area?

I do not know if you are going for business or for a cruise??? We did not bid on it. But, stayed at the hampton inn on staten island. Had free shuttle to port. Free shuttle from airport is iffy. Nice place it stay if away from the noisy highway side. Happy sails, marydallas

Priceline only recently started listing amenities, but it's kinda weird how they do it. If you must have a particular amenity, you probably want to avoid Priceline, and go for Hotwire instead. You will probably end up paying a bit more on Hotwire though.

Sounds like you're a newbie to Priceline. While I am a big fan, I highly recommend spending some time learning the Priceline ropes. It will pay off. http://www.hoteldealsrevealed.com along with betterbidding are good resources to start with.

We would like to book a room near Times Square for two nights July 26th and 27th before our cruise. I would like to use Priceline or Hotwire, but I would need two beds. Is there any way to do it, making sure we would get two beds ? Thanks for any info. Janice

I use Hotwire and specify 3 people. I haven't done this in NYC, but I have done it elsewhere without a problem. You may pay a little more than the 2 person rate, but it's worth it if you really want 2 beds.

Just be sure to check in in a timely manner. If you're going to arrive late, call the hotel directly late morning on your arrival date and tell them you are definitely coming and to block out a room with 2 beds for you.

Won on Hotwire on 5/30/12 for stay 6/23 to 6/27

Sheraton Lincoln Harbor for $138/night +taxes

4 star, hoboken, jersey city, north bergen area zone.

I second that! Great view and great area.

New here, interested in bidding, and just wondering if there is a "how-to" FAQ somewhere in the forum about it?
