No you were not. You paid a "regular" price. Priceline rates are still rates - they're just not rack rates. It's total B.S. on the part of the hotel. No one makes them load inventory into Pl's system - they choose to do it. No one makes them charge $75 for a 4* room - they choose to do it.

Then they blame you for paying the rate that they and PL agreed upon in advance. Screw them!
