Thanks! That's interesting. Wasn't aware of the distance measuring but that makes sense. I've tried your search with two adults only, but I get different results. I don't really see the point of searching for two adults only though, since I will be needing two beds either way, so why take the risk of not including two children when searching? Are you still not able to see the same results I mentioned initially when searching for two adults and two children? Many thanks for your kind assistance so far, I really appreciate it!

Now the same one (?) is priced at $251 when I redo the search... 2 adults and 2 kids, no bed choice.

Thanks. But the fact that the distance to airports differ between the two, is that an indicator of these two being different hotels? Every single thing is the same except for these distances, even the number of ratings etc.

Yes, my search is for two adults and two children, all in one room. My kids are only three and five so we can manage with a sofabed or similar if that is what we are assigned.

Hi, I'm new here and I would be extremely grateful for any assistance.
