adjoining rooms

[garmisch]

I'm completely new at this and just wondering if anyone's had experience bidding for 2 rooms and getting them adjoining.

We are a family of four and usually either book a suite at a suite hotel or book adjoining rooms with 2 beds for the kids and 1 or 2 beds for us.

Is this even worth considering with Priceline?

After you find out the hotel you've been awarded, call the hotel and put in the request. This request should be taken just as if it were made any other way.

Although you may not have had any problems in the past, you're request of adjoining room is just that, a request. Ultimately, it all depends upon availability at check-in, how many rooms the hotel has with adjoining rooms, the mood of the check-in clerk, etc.

I don't have any first hand experience asking for adjoining rooms, but perhaps somebody that has will jump in with their experiences with how successful (or not) they have been.

As an add on....

I also think that one would be most successful getting room preferences when checking in between noon-3pm (after stated check-out time and before stated check-in time) as this is likely when the hotel has the most unassigned rooms.

Obviously least successful when checking in late in the evening and the hotel is near capacity.

I requested adjoining rooms at the Hyatt Alicante by Disneyland recently and my requet was granted. In February we stayed at the Park Hyatt in Beverly Hills and called 1-800-Check-In for our room assignments. They were not able to give us adjoining rooms but we were on the same floor.
