Priceline Hotel: 4/8-4/10 dad & 2 teens, SF USE/W with Pool

[ncapp]

New here, thanks in advance.  I'm horribly late on booking a room....budget allows for 1 room, 2 queens typically.... it appears PL only checks double occupancy, suggestions?  Kids did request pool but I think that's hit or miss right?  Was thinking of beginning with Union Square at $110.  

 

Appreciate your suggestions.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Like you say, PRICELINE and PRICELINE EXPRESS only guarantees double occupancy, after that is at the discretion of the hotel. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. Whether they will/can or not depends upon a LOT of different factors, including what is available at the time of your check-in, how many rooms with two beds are offered at the hotel and what they need to accommodate other guests for your dates, hotel policy etc.

HOTWIRE guarantees sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search... this often means two beds in the room, but the second 'bed' could be a pullout sofabed, rollaway brought into the room, etc.

If you're trying to target a specific property (like a hotel with pool) then HOT.WIRE can often be a better option if you're successfully able to identify it based upon the star rating and amenities shown before your purchase... the trade-off is that HOT.WIRE usually costs a little more than PRICE.LINE, so you need to decide what is most important to you for a given stay, the lowest possible price OR the ability to take an educated guess as to the property you may receive.

Let us know your thoughts and we'll go from there.

Please use the PRICELINE and hot.wire links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.

Thanks for the reply, very helpful, appears Hotwire is best bet for the 3x occupancy.  Neither sites "Deals" look very promising for those dates....pricey.  I'm hoping to be under $150.  Any suggestions on a strategy?
