Priceline Hotel: 4* San Diego (Downtown-Harbor Island) Hotel Solamar

[nucunucu]

We are a family of four, 2 adults and 2 children. After I have booked a room thru priceline I discovered that the rooms the hotel most likely will have available for me don't allow for more than 3 guests. I am now afraid that I might be forced to book an extra room (at the regular price) at check-in time. Did anybody have this kind of problem before ?

Thank you

My last bid (the successfull one) was $120 for a 4-star hotel room. I started with 80 and increased by 5 every time, shuffling the areas. I was looking for 4 stars only. I always had Downtown San Diego & Harbor Island selected (that's what I was looking for).

Not sure what to do. I can't cancel. Any thougths would be appreciated.

since you agreed to the terms presented to you before purchase, you have no claim for a refund. Do you even know what type of room you have? And unless you tell them you have 4 guests in the room they will never know. You can always go to a Walmart and buy the $9.99 airmatress and use the in room hairdryer to blow it up. :)

First thing to do is call the hotel and ask what type of room you have been assigned.

If a King bed room, ask if it is possible to switch to a room with two beds. If the answer is "no", ask if it can be done for an additional fee.

If you call the hotel in advance I would not tell them you have four people. If asked just say you don't want to sleep with your sister but will if need be. I have never had a problem with more then the stated number of people. But I don't check in with the whole tribe,I get them after I have keys :)
