Robin12265 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 OKI've used Hotwire for cars before, but never hotels. IMPORTANT starting question - can we specify bedding type?? I don't care WHERE the room is so much as that we want 2 beds! I like my friend, but I really don't want to share a bed with her! LOLI need something near Port Everglades (Royal Caribbean cruise)May 26th - 1 nt - 2 adultsIt's showing $83.00I used the link provided here.It says...in the initial box:Amenities:Resort, Near Beach, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Pool(s) See all amenitiesWhen I click on the "see all amenities" link I get this:4-star Hotel in Fort Lauderdale BeachThis Hotel features the following amenities:Resort Resorts offer a complete destination experience.

thereuare Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!A few HOTWIRE properties show the "Bed Choice" option where for a small additional fee you can choose your bed type, but this option is not shown for most HOTWIRE hotels.However, you can somewhat 'force' the issue... HOTWIRE allows you to search for up to quad occupancy and by doing so you 'force' that you will receive a room with separate bedding accommodations. While this often means two beds in the room, it could be one bed plus a pullout sofabed, rollaway brought into the room, etc. Would this be acceptable for your plans? If so, try your search again with 2adults/2children to see if the same hotel is offered and for about the same price (or a price that is still within your budget).. often then searching for quad occupancy the price will go up and/or a different hotel will be offered.When posting please include only the amenity names (and not the descriptions) as it will make your post easier to read and help minimize the chances that we miss an amenity when researching your stay.Any questions feel free to ask, and let us know what you turn up on your new HOTWIRE search for quad occupancy (assuming this would work for your plans)Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.
