I would like to use Priceline, but is there any way to use it for more than 2 adults? I'll be travelling to chicago in august and I'd like to try bidding. Any thoughts?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.

Note that HOTWIRE allows you to search for up to quad occupancy.

If you'd like further help please post in the appropriate forum in the ILLINOIS section of the board and include the actual dates of your stay.

Thanks.

Of course, you're free to bid on two rooms. :-)

[Summary: Priceline Name your own price: Does not provide more than double occupancy and you are out of luck if the hotel can't help.

I have used priceline bidding on a few occasions for myself and found the benefits to be great. Given this experience I decided to use the bidding method for my family vacation for a family of four.

However after thinking I had gotten a great hotel 2.5 star, a few days later I checked with the hotel only to find out my room accomodations was equipped with two twin beds. I then asked the hotel for an upgrade and I was told they did not have any upgrade rooms available over the long weekend, even thought the cost would be an additional $50. Note the cost of priceline and $50 would put me up in a 3 star hotel with 2 double beds.

I have contacted priceline with my situation and they have not been willing to make any changes saying No cancellations, changes or refunds. After stating their policy of "We or the applicable hotel may, on an exception basis and at the request of the hotel guest, may waive one or more of the restrictions after the hotel room has been booked.", they still have refused to assist with my booking.

Now I am left with either staying in a small room with not enough beds or booking at another hotel.

Thanks Priceline
