mcarth342 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hi All,i am new to your forum so be kind :) I am from Scotland and will be coming over to Nova Scotia this coming August for 14 nights,basically i am going to attempt to use priceline for most of my accom needs.My main concern is there are 4 of us me and the misses and our two children aged 12 & 15 years,how can we be sure that the rooms we are bidding for will accomodate all of us.CheersArthur Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 PRICELINE does not guarantee more than 1 bed per room. If you are a party of 4, then your best bet would be to use HOTWIRE for hotels.Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase/s on HOTWIRE, and let us know if you have questions.

AaronJB Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hotels upload the rates that they decide, they do not go off the rates of other hotels or base it on star rating. Link to comment

I've stayed at the Halifax Marriott, it's a nice hotel but the rooms aren't huge I doubt you would enjoy such a long stay in such cramped conditions. Halifax hotels aren't usually that expensive, so 2 priceline rooms will probably still be cheaper than one large room direct. Link to comment
