Priceline

[Freyja]

Does anyone know if we can use Priceline to get a room for 5? We are 2 adults and 3 children (but the youngest one can sleep in our bed). We would need a room with 2 queen beds. I have heard that we could ask for this after we get the room but I´m afraid that we are at least 1 too many. What do you guys think?

Thanks
Freyja

You could end up with a room with one bed by the way but not likely in Orlando...but 5 in a room is too many for the standard rooms offered..I would bid on 2 rooms

It depends on the hotel, some will say there is an additional charge if you want a cot or more than 4 in the room, however, most travel sites don't allow you to book more than 4 in a room unless it's a suite. Priceline lists some of the hotels plus you can go to www.biddingfortravel.com and check out what people are getting for their amounts under their star and locations, then call those hotels and ask for their policies (that is of course if you are feeling adventurous )

I just got an awesome deal for the Sheraton Safari for 6/22-6/26 through priceline!

Good luck!

We've done priceline stays with 5 three times -- got suite hotels all three times, but it wasn't by accident b/c I had really studied the possibilities. That being said, these were one night stays. I'm willing to risk getting one bed for that but I wouldn't stake my vacation on what priceline might give you.

BTW, we do quite few road trips (a lot of them to Disney) and arrive at interstate hotels at midnight. We never get two rooms, but we travel with sleeping bag and pillows in case we need them.

You are only garenteed one bed. I have always been able to get two beds, by contacting the hotel direct with my request.
