Prepay bad Room?
There are some good prepay hotel rates for many chains. I fear that if I prepay and get to the hotel they can give me any room they want and I'm stuck with it since I'm within their cancellation period once I arrive.
Have you found that hotels put you in a worse room if you prepay and have no few options ? Or do you get a worse room simply because you got a good rate?

It varies, of course.
In Hiltons (in Europe), I have had this (unrenovated rooms near lifts). But in Le Mridien, I get good rooms - have even got free upgrades on bargain Priceline rooms on occasion.
