Hotel Reservation

[tiggerlover]

I am trying to book hotel reservations online and have encountered a problem and I wondered if this is standard. At two different websites it has asked me how many is in my party (2 adults and 1 child), but when I go to make the reservation it say this rate is based on double occupancy and an additional charge may be assessed by the hotel for extra people. Is this standard? How do I find out what the correct rate is for my stay?

Thanks!

Are you trying to book with a major hotel chain or an independent?

Some hotels will charge a certain amount for a third person in a room. Some will only charge if the third person is 18 or over. Others will charge for an adolescent (12) and older.

Could I ask which hotel you're looking at? You could PM the info, and maybe I can do some research.

HTH!!

Sounds standard to me. Kids are usually free anyway!

We are trying to book at the Radisson in Alexandria, VA. They ask the child's age so that is why I am confused about the disclaimer. (DS will be 9 when we check in and 10 when we check out. )

I book all the time online for our family trips (2 adult, 2 kids). As long as you specify in the reservation the correct number and choose the 2 bed option, you will have no problem. I think the disclaimer is added if you have more adults in your room.

I have probably booked 20 or more rooms on Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, Hotwire, hotel websites directly, etc. and never had a problem!

Go ahead! Have a good time!

Hey tiggerlover-

I just called the Radisson CRO, and was told that they do not charge for a third person until they're considered to be an adult.

I asked for clarification and he said 18 or older.

Good Luck!

Well thanks, that was nice of you. Do you have that CRO number, I am interested in seeing what their rates are compared to Travelocity and Priceline.

It's a standard thing to pop up. Most hotels in their right mind wouldn't charge extra for a child. I think I had this pop up on AAA and I was not charged extra even though the comment was there.

Standard is 3rd adult and higher are extra.

Unless you pull off from a long trip and stop at the hotel advertised for $19.99--they count all the bodies.
