Hi everyone!

I'm looking for the courtyard Marriott in jersey city for Nov. 7 to 9. We are are a group of 10 persons who will travel to New York and plan to stay at this hotel because it is cheaper than the one in Manhattan.

On the marriott website, the best available rate is 239$ for two queens bed (or 227$ for AAA). I did try every possible options to have a better price than this one but guess it's harder than I thought. We plan to book 2 rooms. Any idea on how to be successful?

On the other hand, I'm very new to this, but do you believe that the certificate for 1 night free when you stay 1 night during the week-end is going to work? I don't possess any of these certificate, but saw in the ebay site that you can buy one or two ... is it a good option in your opinion (because these certificate seem to be very cheap...around 10-15$ per certificate)? Before spending money for nothing, I just want to make sure that it's allright from all the valuable experts here in this forum.

I'm sorry for my not-so good english and any mistake...I'm better in french.

Thank you for your time...
