It says on the site that if you book a higher star hotel and call the hotel they are more likely to be able to give you 2 beds. Any advice/experiences would be much appreciated! Thanks!!!

He made it clear that since they had vacancy, they were very kindly accommodating my request. I'm sure the availability of 2-bed rooms varies by market, star level, etc, but if you MUST have 2 beds, you just can't count on it with "Name Your Price."

The hotels I have gotten make a note in my reservation and I have so far not had an issue. I used priceline about 10 times in the DL area always 2.5 stars or better.
