dougan778 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I am an inexperienced traveller and going to be a first-time priceline name-your-price user. I am going to be needing a room for a night, but I probably will not be arriving in town until 10 or 11 PM. Do hotels usually let you check in that late? Is this a concern if I don't know what hotel I'm going to be getting?Thanks, I'm a little overwhelmed in general due to not staying in hotels very often. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!It's not a problem, although if you will be arriving much later than 11pm (and certainly if after midnite) it's usually a good ideal to call ahead and let them know that you'll be arriving late so that they don't think you're a no-show and try to re-sell the room (usually not an issue but possible if the hotel is very busy and near sold-out for the nite)I'd also ask what star rating you're looking for as there are some budget properties, such as the extended stay, which do not have a 24 hour front desk, but they have procedures in place should you arrive after the front desk closes... basically you use a house phone and security will come and give you a key to your room.What location are you looking at? What are the dates of your stay? What is your desired star rating and maximum budget?After you provide the information above we'll be able to respond further, and will also move this thread to the appropriate state category on the board and we can continue the discussion there.
