bidding on room for 3 people

[waterfly]

I have used PRICELINE and have been very happy with the deals I have gotten. I am taking a trip to Paris Dec. 2-Dec. 5 with 2 other friends. We would like to get a hotel room with sleeping space for all 3 of us. I have learned that you take your chances on bidding with PRICELINE, regarding a special request for a triple room. I am not sure that the french would be so accomodating. It was suggested in an earlier post to use hotwire and specify 3 people in our party. Can you do a "name your own price" with HOTWIRE, or is it the listed price only? any suggestions on how to go about finding a deal would be appreciated! And as always, I use the links from this site.

Thanks,

kelly

HOTWIRE is listed price only. As you noted, there is the possibility of getting a room for 3 on PRICELINE, but it is unlikely in some major cities, especially with smaller hotel rooms.

I would put 2 adults and 1 child on HOTWIRE when searching.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links, and let us know if you have any questions.

In Europe i would really try to find something that appeared when searching for 3 adults (vs. 2adults/1child) as i think your chances of "getting away with it" are a little less likely than when in the States (ie- smaller lobbies where harder to 'hide' the 3rd adult, smaller hotels where same staff more likely to see you coming/going, etc)

And as always, I use the links from this site.
