I was perfectly prepared to fire up my computer and book again through Hotwire/Priceline for the Sunday night stay. The property decided to take $6 more than the Priceline rather than the $20 they originally offered.

Few hotels will reject a decent rate on an extented stay on a Sunday night when the choice is between that and a no-revenue room.
