We're traveling to Moline IL in September with our 4 young children, 3 of whom will fit in one bed. Is it possible to book a suite through HOTWIRE or PRICELINE? The only "win" hotels I find on here are a Holiday Inn and a La Quinta Inn. My only other option is to get 2 rooms, but how would I guarantee that they'd be adjoining?

Thanks for any advice you can give!

PRICELINE only guarantee a room for 2 adults. That could be a queen bed. You can't specific book a suite with priceline. Booking two rooms don't guarantee that they'd be adjoining. We have seen a few "complaints" about this on the board. And this is up to the hotel in the end. The best/safest thing you can do is to use HOTWIRE. You can search for a room that sleeps 4 adults if you want.

Post your details for the stay and we'll help you with this.

Technically, you could book a "suite" on Hotwire as long as the hotel is showing an S - in other words, the suite icon.

Sometimes, Hotwire will have studio, 1BDRM and 2BRM condos as well. They will usually be ID'ed with icons and you find them more in big vacation destinations, like Orlando, Myrtle Beach and the like.

What would Moline have? Maybe a hotel with S, like a Staybridge Suites or the like. Probably not 1 or 2 bdrm.

As Yellowdog said, you are safe on HW in general. Because you can always specify 4 adults and if you do, they have to give you 2 beds.

Let us know how it goes.

What are your dates of travel? In smaller markets like this, it may be an issue of you could get a suite for less than/around/not much more than what HOTWIRE's offering (although that depends on the day.)
