Priceline Question

[mom2boys]

When bidding on a hotel, how can I indicate that there are 4 of us? It's 2 adults & 2 children so I just need to ensure that we have 2 beds. I don't see a place to enter that.

I don't think you can...unless this has changed recently. With Priceline, I think you are only guaranteed a double.

However, whenever I've received a winning bid on Priceline, I then call the hotel to request 2 doubles (or queens if they have them.) Out of the 20+ times I have used Priceline, I've only been denied 2 beds one time. It was for a smaller boutique hotel in NYC and the room was not large enough for another bed.

They will only guarantee a room for two. Where are you bidding> If it is for Orlando, don't worry and bid for one room. There is almost no chance the hotel won't accomodate you. In a place like NYC, I would never take the chance. Even really expensive rooms are so tiny that you could never fit 4 people.

It's been awhile since I got a room on priceline, but as I recall, you can't request that specifically.

Once you get your bid, call the hotel and tell them you'd like to be sure you get two double beds. They'll usually accomdate us when we request it.

As everyone else says, the only guarantee is a room for two people.

I have never not gotten a room with two beds. Our priceline stays have been exclusively one or two nights at a time, not a whole vacation, so we've just thrown a couple of sleeping bags in the car and crossed our fingers.

I wouldn't worry much unless you're going somewhere, such as NYC, where rooms with one bed are common.
