amandasaver Posted May 8, 2014 Report Posted May 8, 2014 Hello, I need a 4* room from June 5th-8th. 170 or so is my max bid but lower would make me much happier, of course. Open to locations, but I am interested in MTW, MTE, TS, Chelsea, and ESB. I am traveling with 2 other adults, so if you know any tricks to get a larger room, that would be great. Thank you for your help!
yellowdog Posted May 8, 2014 Report Posted May 8, 2014 I am traveling with 2 other adults, so if you know any tricks to get a larger room, that would be great.Please note that PRICELINE and PRICELINE EXPRESS only guarantees double occupancy, after that is at 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. Whether they will/can or not depends upon a LOT of different factors, including what is available at the time of your check-in, how many rooms with two beds are offered at the hotel and what they need to accommodate other guests for your dates, hotel policy etc. 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. We never recommend boards members to take a chance for two beds when using PRICELINE for NYC. Let us know how you want to play this and we'll go from there. Please use the PRICELINE and hot.wire links on the board to begin your purchases and searches. Yellowdog.
amandasaver Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Posted May 9, 2014 Thank you for the clarification. Let's go with Hotwire, then, to guarantee 2 beds.
amandasaver Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Posted May 9, 2014 I checked out Hot.wire with the areas and stars that I would like and it is pretty pricey! I'm thinking of taking my chances with Price.line. So what would you recommend for Price.line strategy?
thereuare Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 You're seeing higher prices on HOTWIRE since you're searching there fore triple occupancy, and in NYC rooms with two beds often cost more than rooms with one bed, which is why we say that in NYC it's a fairly substantial risk using PRICELINE for more than double occupancy (vs. a city like Orlando which is used to accommodating familiar and have a high percentage of rooms with two beds) Assuming everyone in your group is willing to take the chance, you can try bidding as follows: When bidding 4* in NYC you have ONE re-bid zone. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

amandasaver Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Posted May 10, 2014 I'm looking on Priceline Express Deal at different hotels and noticed that some state "Bed Choice Available". Does anyone know if that includes 2 beds? Trying to find a cheaper room for 3 adults. Thank you for your help.
AaronJB Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 If you click on the listing, you will see the various options - it may not be two beds, but various one bed options. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
