Priceline Hotel: Room for 3 people at the Sheraton or Renaissance Meadowlands

[sharon78]

Hi.

I see that most people win 3.5 star hotel at the Sheraton or Renaissance Meadowlands. I would like to try to bid for a 3.5 star hotel in the meadowlands-rutherford area, but we are 3 people. Has anyone booked a double occupancy room and upgraded through the hotel for a 3 person room? Not sure what the charge will be, so a little hesitant in bidding for a room on priceline.com. I am looking for the night of March 26nd.

Thank you!

Sharon

PRICELINE only guarante a room for two adults. That could mean only one bed. Even if other guests might have gotten a room for 3 guests at C/I isn't this a guarante that it will work for you. Is this a risk you're willing to take?

It might be better to go with HOTWIRE for this stay. With HOTWIRE can you search up to a quad room.

Let us know how we can help you further.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

As noted above, there is no guarantee a room w/two beds will be available at either property, either due to policy or availability. PRICELINE only guarantees 1 bed/double occupancy - anything beyond that is up to the hotel. Visitors can request two beds, but the hotel could say no (even if there is availability of rooms w/2 beds), require an upgrade charge or just be willing to work with you. There is no way to know, and the response may vary from day-to-day. HOTWIRE is a better choice for more than 2 people in the room.

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

We ended up booking directly with the Econo Lodge at the Meadowlands. It cost around $150 for the 3 of us. Walking distance to the stadium! I really enjoyed staying there!
