priceline 3 star hotels?

[calvin]

I have never used priceline. These postings sure make me curious. Is there anyway to find out which hotels priceline will choose from if you request a 3 star? I saw the posting stating the 4 star hotels.
We will have 3 adults and 2 children in our party and hope to go the first of October. Is there anyway to request a suite or 2 room suite? Or do you just figure out how to sleep 5 people in a room that only sleeps 4? or do you request 2 rooms automatically?

HELP!!

A complete list of hotels in Orlando that have come up on Priceline bids is located here:

Note these are the hotels that have come up in the past, and it is possible that a new hotel could start participating at any time, but not that likely. Even if a new hotel does come up, it should be similar to the hotels already on the list, so it should not be significant since you don't know exactly which hotel you will get anyway

Priceline only guarentees accomidations for 2 people. Often, like at the Courtyard by Marriott Little Lake Bryan, you are automatically booked into a King sized room. Some 2* properties, the extended stay ones, only have 1 bed in the room. If your 3rd child is an infant you are probably OK with getting one room. If not, get 2 rooms. You'll be a lot more comfortable with 2 bathrooms and room to stretch out.

Friends just got back from Courtyard at lake Bryan and loved it. They have 3 children also and were given 2 double beds and a crib. They could not say enough good things about this place. It is the only one so far coming up in the 2 1/2 star group.

I was upgraded to 3* Rennaissance World Gate.

Robin- I ended up giving the reservation to my parents[they could use a trip] since I couldn't sell them(without a hassel). I kept my All Star ressies!

The Wyndham Orlando Resort rate I received from Priceline was $48.00 per night. I called after I received confirmation directly to the Hotel and requested a rollaway. I was offered an upgrade to a suite for $20.00 more, but I told them I really only needed a rollaway. Was given one free of charge. The dates we are going are in June. Good Luck!
