Booking a hotel for 1, but 2 staying...

[andyjo1982]

Afternoon all

My Missus is in New York for a few months and i was thinking of going over to see her for a few nights. So she doesn't need a flight either way, she just needs somewhere to stay for 4 nights at the end of her trip so i though i could surprise her and she could just stay with me. The internet searches dont give the option to add an additional person to stay in the room, would i need to call the hotel seperately to explain or should i just try smuggle her in? Would i be right to expect a surcharge for this as well?

thanks for any advice...

Why don't you book it as two people?

They aren't likely to care, in the main you pay in the US you pay for a room and not the number of people in it.

The internet searches i've done include the cost of a flight for an extra person. Thinking about it, i haven't tried booking the flight and hotel seperate.

Thats why i kept it out of the lounge and thats the good thing about these smaller sub forums, you get a different, perhaps classier level of banter

I would sneak her in....a)I don't think they would notice tbh and b) im not sure they would care as you generally pay for the room.....I have never had a problem doing it.

This. You are in 99% of cases paying for the room anyway.

We're being told off elsewhere for constantly doing that.

the best way is to check the hotel terms and conditions

it will say base rate is for 1 or 2 etc

if it says base rate is for 2 - then you'll be fine to take her to the room at no extra cost - just as courtesy let the hotel know.

if base rate is 1 then you may have to pay extra upon check in.

make a dummy booking for hotel only first with one person and then same hotel but with two - if price increases then you'll have to pay at the check in

I stayed in the Hilton in Montreal and they had absolutely no problem allowing my girlfriend to stay with me, just let them know beforehand as it is polite.

no really should be fine , they charge per room not per person
