Priceline is an obaque/blind service and the T&C's specifically state you are not to get any benefits when a room is booked through those services.

But you are also suppose to only ge3t 2 adult breakfasts per the T&C and I have managed to get more than that comped before at some properties and some properties I haven't.

I don't like using priceline for hotels for a couple reasons. First of all I like to know for sure where I am staying. Another reason is that I have had flights cancel in the past due to WX a couple times on Delta and I missed a connection in May due to a MX and all those times I just called the diamond desk and they waived the cancel penalty. If it would have been priceline I would have been stuck.
