Actually Priceline DOES basically make a gurantee. They are pretty clear that you are only guaranteed one bed.
Am I the only one who wonders WHY we would expect the chains to "reward" us with "loyalty" gifts and gurantees when we were willing to take the chance that we could be anywhere to save a few bucks.
Yes, I have used Priceline and will do it in the future. No, I don't expect to get "points", "gifts" and "upgrades" for my "el cheapo" room rate. (I will not however, take a subpar room. As I told the Shearton Chicago Manager, "I didn't MAKE you take this price, that was YOUR call, now I want a room where all the features work!" Mine had a heating issue. I was moved
