Regarding the comment in my last post - "And you're surprised at the room assignment?" - I should clarify: I certainly don't agree that a hotel should unnecessarily give the crappiest room or otherwise give crappy treatment to someone using priceline. I've just seen that they often do, and sometimes gleefully at that. And I agree that they shouldn't sell rooms through Howire or PL if they are going to act so bitterly about it.
