kttravel Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 :) Wish I had read the bid below first! I got two rooms for 9/3-9/5 for $80 each. However, I'm fine about the $24. What bothers me is that when I called to request nonsmoking and rooms near one another, I said that I know you can't guarantee anything, but I would like to request that. The reservation agent immediately said that I should have booked through them if I had any "special" requests like nonsmoking and that she couldn't make ANY requests. I have booked with Priceline often, and I've often had hotels warn me that they couldn't guarantee, but it's annoying that they won't even put in the request. Anyone else had that experience?

thereuare Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Thanks for sharing your win.Don't let the bedding request incident bother you (just yet)... call back in 8 hours when you're likely to get a different front desk clerk and try again. The other option is to send a fax or email and ask for an email back acknowledging receipt.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

kttravel Posted September 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 :) Thanks. You're right. I will try again. I was just upset. I will post the result when I try again! I also learned that there are over 1,200 nonsmoking rooms in the hotel, so the odds are in my favor. Link to comment
WillTravel Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 With 1200 nonsmoking rooms, it might not be worth the aggravation of calling again. If you get a helpful person at the front desk he or she will accommodate you. If you try to check in early and they say no such room is available, ask if something will be available later. I fully expect you will have no problem. It's just that their official policy is not to guarantee anything. Link to comment
