I now much prefer a Hampton Inn to a 4-5 star priceline hotel.
Gee, I totally disagree -- I have never been treated as a second-class citizen because I'm on a PL rate, even on those occasions where I'm sort of embarrassed about the lowness of the rate, like checking into a Hyatt @ $28. The worst that happens is, you sometimes don't get stay credit or points, which I don't expect anyway with Priceline. But once at the Chicago Hilton I had two friends with me on cheapo Priceline deals, and we were all upgraded to an executive floor and given lounge access on the strength of my HHonors Gold status. So I guess I've always had on par
or better treatment.
