pgk123 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 i am looking for 2 days near LGA or better place in other ny area so wondering whats the bid strategy. We are family of 4 with two kids but my dad joining us too so wondering whether priceline allows 5 people and willing to pay more for additional people.I also saw express deal 2ith $85 so could you please let me know which is this one?.
yellowdog Posted May 18, 2013 Report Posted May 18, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding :) PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, which means you may receive a room with only one bed and the hotel could assign you a room with only one bed. You could request a room with two beds, but the hotel could be unable, or unwilling, to accommodate your request... or charge an additional fee if they are willing to accommodate you request.HOTWIRE guarantees sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search... this often means two beds in the room, but the second 'bed' could be a pullout sofabed, rollaway brought into the room, etc. But please note that the limit of guests in one room is 4 guests with HOTWIRE. But maybe one of the younger kids can share bed with you?Would HOTWIRE work for you?Let us know your thoughts around this and we'll go from there.Please use the board's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your purchases and searchesYellowdog.

thereuare Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 pgk123,For each listing you're only seeing the first 9 amenities, you need to take some extra steps to see the complete list.If you repeat your HOTWIRE search and on the search results page, click one of the offers above (to get to the 'details' page for that offer). On this ensuing 'details' page if you click the 'See all amenities' link under the list of amenities you don't see more than nine amenities for either of these? (the amenities should be shown in a pop-up window)If you're still only seeing the first 9 amenities, are you you using a desktop or mobile device and are you on the US version of the HOTWIRE site?
