JEXPS, Welcome to BetterBidding! As this thread is nearly 4 years old and the OP may not see your question, i will provide some general information: -all PRICELINE reservations (unless otherwise indicated) are booked for double occupancy, after that it is at the discretion of the hotel. Even if a bed choice of 2 Queen beds (or some other configuration that can accommodate 3/4 guests) is shown, the reservation is still technically for double occupancy, although i don't know of anyone who has yet had an issue showing up with 3/4 when the room is designed to accommodate this number of guests With the above noted, a few TIPS to avoid any issues: -i would not try this at an all-inclusive property or a location where wristbands are required to use certain features (ie- the water park at Atlantis in the Bahamas) as the types of situations almost always require an additional fee for more than double occupancy -you can minimize the chances of any problems by only have 2 guests go to the check-in counter while the other(s) go begin to explore the hotel. Easier to do in a place like Las Vegas where the hotels are large, the check-in desk is not by the front door and only guests of the hotel are coming/going.... more difficult to do at a low star rated hotel in a rural area where the front desk is there to see everyone coming/going -HOTWIRE allows searches for up to quad occupancy and guarantees 'sleeping accommodations' (often means 2 beds in the room but could include a pullout sofabed or rollaway brought into the room) for everyone included in the search, so that is another option if/when a 'bed choice' with 2 beds is not offered -usually less of a risk if the 3rd/4th guests are children (the younger / smaller the better) than if the extra guests are adults Lastly, there is often 'location specific' advice. For example, a high percentage of hotel rooms in Orlando are designed for families and the hotel is used to seeing groups of 3/4/more so the risk in a family-friendly place such as this is less vs. for example NYC where the opposite is true (rooms are usually smaller, often designed for a solo business traveler, etc) If you'd like specific suggestions for your particular situation please feel free to start a NEW TOPIC with the parameters of your trip (location, dates, budget, number of guests, etc) Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Great, thank you for the additional information. So basically 2 hotel rooms is what is needed, which opens up the possibility of Bidding on Priceline. It comes down to how much you would like the (likely) outcome of the Fairmont (which has excellent reviews) vs. being willing to accept any 4.5 star (or higher) hotel in this zone. Using the current BetterBidding Priceline Coupon you could bring that room rate down to about $288, so how much additional savings would you need in order to make the risk of landing a different property worthwhile? Some people are looking for the absolute cheapest price so any savings makes it worthwhile to them... others like to have a good sense of the hotel they may likely receive and require a more substantial discount to make bidding worthwhile. If you'd like to give bidding a try let us know your maximum bid (using the numbers above $288 less how much discount you would need to make the 'more unknown' of bidding worthwhile) and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow... otherwise you can use this 5 star Wailea - Makena hotel (confirm your dates on the landing page) which is already pre-populated for 2 rooms. Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know how it goes (if you take the offer above) or how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

... it's likely the Waldorf Astoria Orlando Only on-site property i'm seeing at the current time (other than Disney's Coronado Springs Resort) is The Swan at $233/nite, but there is no Bed Choice, so two puts you well beyond your budget. Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we will try to advise further.

Congratulations on your success! Nice to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and that you're happy with the outcome.

Any decision yet for your Traverse City Hotwire hotel stay yet? Please post an update there with any decisions or your current thoughts for that trip. For the stay above are you searching for something other than the default 1room/2adults/0children, as i don't see anything priced at $67/nite... but when i change the search to 2adults/2children i do see the following (which i'm assuming is the one you're seeing?): 3* HOTWIRE Cocoa Beach - Cape Canaveral for $67.00 Free Internet Resort Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Tennis Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> using the BiddingHelper.com EASY VIEW tab and the GREEN 'What Hotel is This?' indicates that this is likely the Radisson Resort at the Port, and that would be my best guess for this one Does this work for your plans this trip?

Not necessarily... sometimes the best deals (and inventory) are found very early, sometimes close to check-in; it all depends upon how accurately the hotel estimates demand for a given set of dates. A hotel can be expecting low occupancy for your dates above and decide to put inventory on PRICELINE / HOTWIRE at which point it would pay to be searching early; on the other hand as dates draw near maybe the hotel has greater occupancy than expected and does not give (or pulls) any inventory to the opaque suppliers. I'm currently seeing the All-Star properties around the same price as your current booking, should any of these be of interest (confirm all dates on the landing page of the link provided): Sports for $129/nite Music for $129/nite Movies for $140/nite I'm also seeing the Disney Dolphin for $151/nite if this is of any interest. You can also use one of our other sites, RateDrop, to monitor prices at all of the Disney hotels for your specific dates... set the price for each hotel that you'd be interested in purchasing and the system will monitor rates for your dates and send you an email should any of the hotels drop to that price.
