I was surprised not to already find a thread on this, since the change apparently happened back in September. Priceline seems to have rerated all of the usual suspect business class hotels (Courtyard, Hyatt Place, Garden Inn(??-not personally sure about that one, although I am about the rest) from 2.5 to 3 stars. I was recently "upgraded" to a 3* for the Marriott Courtyard, which has been a 2.5 for like forever. I find this new PL re-rating scheme a VERY bad and misleading move. This makes the 3* rating so broad that it's virtually meaningless. I mean, look, saying that (for instance) the Hyatt Suites in Atlanta is a comparable property to the Marriott Courtyard in Columbia is laughable. This TOTALLY undermines the credibility of PL <end rant>.
