*Are you treated different booking thru Priceline?*

[Nliedel]

You can always try the "$20 upgrade" trick, which works extremely well in Las Vegas. Upon checking in, inquire if there is something a little more desirable available while making it clear that a $20 bill is available for the check-in person. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. :D

 

I have never had that work anywhere but Vegas.. but it is worth a try!
