While I would prefer to book stays with Hyatt, with the change in FFN occuring soon it doesn't matter to me if Priceline gives me something other than Hyatt.
Thanks for the info everyone and I will make sure to head into NB for some meals.
Wow, $42 is a great deal. I did a quick search on hilton.com for mid-week rates in March 2005 at the EB Hilton, and I got $209/night Best Available Rate and $188 for Net Direct rates (non-refundable). I had given up on Priceline for stays at the EB Hilton, but maybe I should go back and try again, given your recent experience.
