Hotwire Hotel: Triple room at Hotwire?

[subao]

Hi,

I'm a new comer to this board, and it took me a while to figure out how to post this message, but I have always enjoyed reading messages here and learned a lot. I need to ask a question about booking a triple room at HOTWIRE. I heard it's not possible from PRICELINE but it can be done through HOTWIRE. If I need two rooms, one twin/double for one adult one 14-year-old, one triple room for two adults one 14-year-old, can I be guaranteed to get a triple room? any strategies? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Welcome!

Triple or Quad accomodations could be a room with two double beds or a room with one bed and a pull out sofa or a rollaway bed.

It can also mean a blow-up bed as I discovered in Miami downtown (it was still a good deal at a great hotel and a delux blow-up for sure but a bit of a surprise!)

Welcome to BetterBidding :)

Just search for 2 rooms W/5 adults in the same search. This will guarantee sleeping places for all guests. You may get a diffrent result if searching 2 rooms/3 adults + 2 children.

Let us know how we can help you further.

You are amazing! Thank you all for helping.

Now I do have more questions, thanks again in advance:

I ran a sample search with 5 adults, the results did come up differently.

For London Aug. 4 - 8; 3* Kensington - Chelsea - Knightsbridge area Hotel, with Amenities: complimentary breakfast, high-speed internet, Recommended in 80 % of customer reviews; It's $152 (for 5-adults) vs. $69 (for 3-adults, 2-children). The rate difference would make booking through Hotwire not so advantageous, right?

Among all the amenities, I care most is complimentary breakfast. If it isn't listed under a particular hotel, does it mean breakfast is not included?

What are your view of current disruption of travel by the volcano? should I postpone my bookings until later since my trip to London and Italy will be in August? People are saying there is a risk of another bigger nearby volcano eruption.

Cheers.
