Priceline hotel question?

Is there any way to request a room with 2 beds?

When you get your hotel, call them to confirm and request it.

But just remember that Priceline does not guarantee 2 beds - in some locations, especially larger and congested cities (such as NYC, SF) this request will not be honored. Just know there is a risk you will not get 2 beds.

The only time I've ever gotten two beds on a priceline room, and I've used priceline 30 or 40 times, was downtown Atlanta.

I've never gotten two beds in NYC, Boston, Miami, or Chicago.

GoTravel, does that mean you never tried to get two beds in those places, or in all of them you DID try but couldn't get them?

But did you ask for two beds?

NYC is the only location for which biddingfortravel specifically warns that there's a high likelihood of only one bed. In most other cities, there's a good chance that you'll get your two beds if you call in advance. But don't use PL if you *must* have two beds.

Yes, I've tried to get two beds in all the places except NYC and was unable.

In all fairness, the only place I use priceline in Miami is South Beach and the rooms are teeny tiny and double/double rooms aren't the norm.

In Chicago I got stuck in the middle of the IT&ME show at McCormick Center (Incentive Travel & Meeting Excecutives) show and ended up sharing a king be with one of my girlfriends. A second time with my mother.

Ditto for Boston.

In any big city you need to assume Priceline means one bed. It might be possible to get two - but often is not.

If in smaller cities - or other places where most rooms have two beds - like Las Vegas - your chances will be much better - but you distinctly have no guarantee - or recourse.

We got two beds in NYC at the Milennium Broadway.

I've always gotten one bed when I asked the hotel for one; and I've gotten two beds when I asked the hotel for two.
