Hotwire Hotel: Bidding for rooms for three people

[Bernii123]

I want to use the priceline bidding service for first time. Three of us want to go to NYC and I can't see that there is a facility to state the number of people in the group. Can you help? B

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

PRICELINE only guarantees 1 bed/double occupancy. While one can request two beds, the hotel can say no or charge an added fee for the upgrade. However, NYC is infamously difficult for two beds, as most rooms are quite small to begin with and in some cases may not fit a rollaway (see the Hudson's rooms for example, which are around 150 sq ft.)

The alternative I would recommend would be HOTWIRE, where if you indicate 3, you will be assured some form of bedding (usually two beds, but can be 1 + sofabed or other combination) for your party.

Please let us know if you have any questions and if we can be of further help for your trip.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
