that would be a waste of time imo. priceline is far too vertically integrated to offer on-the-spot accomodations like that. the good news is that their * rating system is never that far removed from reality. 3* usually = hilton, marriott, doubletree, hyatt, etc. 4* is a little nicer. 2.5* = boutique. 2* = red lion, days inn, 4 points, etc.
