From the Hotwire Hotel List the above does match previous reports for the Sheraton New York so that would be my best guess as well.

When we booked in June through Hotwire, it was for only two people.  Bed Choice of two beds was guaranteed and the room occupancy maximum is 4.  Since booking, my niece has decided to join our trip.  When I looked on their help site, it said that you can add a guest but not change the guest name, which is exactly what I need to do.  However, when I emailed Hotwire, I got a canned response saying that reservations couldn't be changed.

 

Thoughts or suggestions?

Is this in regards to your New York City Hotwire hotel purchase?

[kgeaton]

Yes it is.  I may have misunderstood the quote on Hotwire's Help section.  Now, I'm trying to decide if I should wait until we arrive and ask if there's an extra guest fee that we can pay or just book another room.

If i understand you correctly you chose a specific room type that has two beds in it? 

 

If so, and you're comfortable with the current room type for the four of you, i would just keep the existing room as-is and only have two people go to the front desk at check-in (the other one/two can just grab a seat in the lobby or there is seating in the bar area just to the left when you enter the hotel).  If for any reason you're only given a room with one bed at check-in i would make it a point that your reservation indicates two beds guaranteed (assuming of course that is indeed what it states) and just let them know that you need two beds (because of course your spouse snores, rolls over in the middle of the nite, kicks in their sleep, or whatever you think will get a laugh from the front desk clerk)... then just gather the other(s) waiting elsewhere in the lobby and head up to your room.

 

On the other hand if you think you need more space you could call the hotel and mention that "another family member" may want to come, would it be OK if they came along in the room currently assigned and/or what options would there be for a paid upgrade to a larger room.

 

Let us know how you decide to play it or let us know how we can be of further help if you decide you would like to book another room.

[kgeaton]

Yes, this is correct!  We were able to book a room with choice of bed and we chose two standard (full) beds.  

 

Thanks for your reply and advice.  I'll certainly let you know what we do.
