2 rooms through Priceline?

[cruise'n]

Is it more difficult to get 2 rooms (for 2 couples) in one bid or should each couple bid separate? It would be nice to know that both couples traveling together are in the same hotel. Any advice would be appreciated.

Two years ago in May, I bid on three rooms with no problems. If you do bid separately you may end up in two different hotels!

You can bid 4 rooms at the same time.

I December I bid on 2 rooms 3*+ in Orlando and got the rooms 50$ each room per night at one of the Raddisson's and it was a very nice, clean, well kept place. Now that was 50 per room TOTAL. No extra taxes ect. We did get side by side rooms, but if you want a connecting door you need to request that.

If this is important, then you must, must, must bid for 2 rooms at the same time.

For all kinds of information and great advice with this sort of thing, go to a site called betterbidding. They really helped me with navigating the whole priceline/hotwire experience earlier this year. There is another site called biddingfortravel, but I found that site pretty intimidating and not nearly as helpful. Good luck.

Thanks, everyone for the great advice! We are going to bid the 2 rooms at the same time. :)

No problem getting the 3 rooms we needed in Dec. (one bid) for P.R. We did very well price wise and got The Radisson which was fine for the night and included a free drink per person. Have a good time.

We just did this last month for May. It will ask you the name of a person for room #1 and room #2. Also, they charged the total amount for both rooms to my credit card immediately, so whoever books through priceline will be the one charged. Our friends just wrote us a check for their portion.
