Priceline Hotel: New York 9/2 and 9/3

[jklconsult]

Would like 4 stars mostly because there will be 3 of us and I would like two beds. Need bidding strategy. I have seen others win these dates with $150-$200 in midtown but probably would like to be closer. So Chelsea, MSG, financial?

Thanks,

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Bidding for 4* hotels doesn't increase your chances of receiving a room with two beds. Regardless of star rating, PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. Is this a risk you're willing to accept? To ensure bedding for all three of you, HOTWIRE would likely be a better option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc)

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.
