I saw an internet post not recommending Priceline for a family of 5. But what about Hotwire?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Since HOTWIRE will only allow you to book a room up to quad occupancy, it's a calculated risk which depends upon a number of factors... how old are your children and what destination are you considering?

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

Orlando, Fl

Dates don't really apply. We drive over an hour and a half on weekends to use our theme park annual passes and it would be occasionally nice to stay over if there is a good deal on a hotel. :)

It's definitely a risk, but HOTWIRE would be the better of the two choices. If you did choose to take the risk, I'd recommend not having everyone at the desk when you check-in - maybe part of the party can wait outside.

Please let us know what you decide and if you have any questions.

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

In Orlando, HW has enough condo/timeshare type listings that may be able to get a Suite/1BD/2BD listing. Then you will surely have enough space, and probably enough beds, for everyone.

Even just the Suite icon would probably mean the room is big enough, generally.
