To DCW. I relate well to your view of Priceline. I tried it once, and when I found that I was committed to paying before I knew at which Hotel I would be reserved, I backed-out at that point, never to try again. </font>
That's a good reason to avoid Priceline when you absolutely need a particular property. For example, if you are doing business at a convention center and absolutely need the hotel that's attached to it.
But Priceline isn't after that market. There are other complaints about Priceline, but for the most part the size of their zones doesn't seem to be a common one.
