Priceline Hotel: Priceline

Priceline only guarantees accomodations for 2 people, and this can be a problem in cities known for small rooms (like NYC), but i haven't heard of any problems in this area for a small family such as yours getting accomodated.

Which port in FL are you leaving from? (depending upon which port you're leaving from, i'll tell you how i would handle the above situation).

Also, assuming it's mom, dad, and 3 children, what are the ages of the children? Like i said, i wouldn't expect, nor have i heard of, any problems in this area, but i would probably feel more comfortable if a "child" is 5 years old vs. 17 years old.

A common hotel "won" in the area is the downtown Hyatt, which i've stayed in and have a very favorable REVIEW.

Two things you can do:

1) Call the Hyatt and the Sheraton directly (no need to mention priceline, just making an inquiry) and ask them if their rooms can accomodate 2 adults and 3 children in a room. (and if so, i would ultimately handle it the same way i described in the link above, have one adult check-in while the other family members "browse" the lobby, then call for a roll-away cot once you're in the room) Like i said above, i haven't heard of any families having a problem and i'd think that all would go fine, but no guarantees.

2) The Hyatt often goes for under $30/nite (i'll give you a specific strategy if you decide if/how you want to go forward), so you may want to start your vacation without the hassle or worry about the check-in process, and bid for 2 rooms. Even if you choose to go for 2 rooms, it may likely be cheaper than one room thru conventional means.

I guess which of the 2 options you choose to go with depends upon your personality and how much you would worry about it, how your kids would handle 'camping' on the floor in a worst case scenario situation, if this would ruin the rest of your vacation, budget, etc.

Any add'l questions or if you make a decision and want to move forward, just post and i'll be happy to help.
