I think it's better if the teenager gets their own room. When I was a teenager travelling with parents, I used to have one whenever possible.
Their budget isn't too tight for that, so I can't see why they should be squeezed into triples for such a long trip.
I have used priceline, but only in areas where I was happy with all the possibilities. It's good for 5-star hotels where available, but otherwise you aren't likely to save a lot of money. For example, I had to stay in Manchester once. I could get a (single, admittedly) room in a very central 4-star-property for £48 straight from the hotel's website. I entered £40 (and that's before charges) for a 4-star on priceline and it told me that my offer was far too low and therefore unlikely to succeed, so I just booked through the hotel site.
