Priceline Hotel: A room for 3 in Priceline?

[shirlys1234]

I am looking to make a reservation for a room for 3 people in NYC. Can I do it through priceline and then call directly to the hotel to change the reservation (for 2 queen beds for example)or will that be a big risk?

Thanks!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

PRICELINE only guarantees one bed/double occupancy. Given NYC's small/very small rooms, two beds often go for a premium - using PRICELINE for two beds in NYC is a big risk, as it's likely the hotel will say no to an upgrade or may charge more. There's no way to know in advance, and it may depend on the day. In NYC, I'd rather suggest searching on HOTWIRE, where you can indicate the amount of people in the party and ensure some sort of bedding (2, 1 + sofa or 1 + rollaway) for the entire party. Please let us know your thoughts and we would be happy to offer suggestions on how to proceed.
