Priceline Hotel: 3* Orange County (Disneyland) Hyatt Regency Orange County

[kimi911]

Hi Guys. You saved me so much money!!!

I took a *big risk* but it paid off.

Got the Hyatt!!

Dec 15 to 17 (2 Nights).

Offered $33 (cause I saw lots of people were offering that). Then I increased to $35 by adding Anaheim Hills. It was accepted.

However, we're a party of three. Will the Hyatt let us stay there even though we booked through Priceline, if we have three people? I sure hope so. Please let me know!!!

This was the only hotel I wanted, and I got it. I just hope it is ok, to have 3 people.

Also, can I call them with non smoking, south tower request, or is that not allowed?

Thanks.

Congratulations on your win... i know you were a little nervous about trying Priceline but glad to see you gave it a try and it worked out well for you.

Looks like you save BIG!

Enjoy your stay.

thank you. :) I'm just nervous about having 3 people and needing 2 beds. Hopefully with it being a Thursday they'll have plenty of rooms. Should I put in this request now, or wait until check in?

Sign up for Hyatts gold passport program. One of the benefits is that you can check-in over the phone. Check-in early and request two beds. I don't think you will have any problem getting your request for two beds.

bbbb-

Thanks for the information. Do they really let you check in over the phone, if you booked on Priceline? Has anyone used that program to check in, if they booked on priceline? That sounds great cause then just I could go to the desk to get the key too.

Also, check in is at 3pm, so should I just call right at 3pm? I hear this hotel charges, if you check in early. Should 3pm be early enough to get the two beds?

I'll ask for the south tower too, but obviously, just having two beds is most important. Thanks for the information everyone has provided!!! Very helpful here.

Hi everyone.

Just thought I'd follow up that I did join Hyatt Gold Passport. The online system didn't let me add the Priceline reservation to my Gold Passport membership, but I sent an email to gold passport, with my Gold passport number and hotel reservation number, and they were able to put it on there for me. I obviously won't earn points on the priceline stay, but any other charges while I'm there will count towards my points.

I don't care about points though. I joined on the recommendation above, so I can now use 1800-CHECKIN to check in and hopefully get my two bed room. They told me I can call as early was 6am CST, but I find that hard to believe.

I need internet access, while I'm there, and I'm willing to pay the $10 per day, if I have to. However, I've read some have succeeded picking up wireless for free, from nearby hotels. Perhaps, I'll be lucky enough to pick that up too. :)

I still feel a little nervous about going to the registration desk, with the three of us. Will they say anything to me? "You should only have two!!! Argh!" Could they add charges? I accept that we are not guaranteed a room type, but three people who will hardly be in the room, isn't really a crunch or anything (no matter what room is given).

This sure is a great resource. I'm sure to recommend this site to friends and book future travel through the links.

You will have nothing to worry about with three people. Call 1-800-CHECK-IN

bbb,

I just wonder how much they charged you for upgraded to a suit room. Did you ask for it or they offerred that option when you check in. I hope you don't mind to share it.
