Priceline Hotel: Singapore: 3 people

[thelittleteapot]

Can I book a room on priceline that is guaranteed to fit 2 people and assume that the hotel will let me add a 3rd person for an extra fee?

Usually in the US, 2 Queens can be a standard room, but it looks like a standard room in Singapore may be just 1 Queen bed.

I tried searching hotwire that allows you to choose the number of people, but there were no good deal offers once you upped the people count to 3.

If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages.

As you're aware, PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it is the discretion of the hotel. 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 (even if you're willing to pay an additional fee). What if the hotel is crowded and/or nearly sold-out and therefore can't fulfill your room type request even for an additional fee... what if the hotel wants an exorbitant amount ($100/nite) for an upgraded room with two beds?

What are the date(s) of your stay... have you looked to see how much TWO ROOMS on PRICELINE or HOTWIRE might cost, as it can sometimes be cheaper then booking one room direct for triple occupancy.

HOTWIRE is the better option when you need more than double occupancy, but as you've found out, this can often limit the number of hotels offered and/or increase the price.

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

Let us know if/how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.
