I've usually had pretty good luck doing this. Well, it just ran out today. 2.5 star for cheap.
Place is a semi remodeled dump. Plastic floors that aren't glued down very well. Old school bathtub and shower. Tiny. Kinda smelly. Dude running the place is really nice and I think he's doing the remodeling himself.
He asked if I was 99 when I walked in the office door. There's like 2 other cars in the parking lot.
They have breakfast in the morning. I'm a little worried.
I've had some really good hotels in the past. Law of averages caught up with me this time.

Sorry to hear that 99.

Re: Priceline Picks the Hotel.
There was some "activity" going on in the parking lot last night that had me a little worried. Turned out to be NBD.
Anyone else to the "Let Priceline Pick" thing? I've done it probably a dozen times and have had really good hotels when I could pin down what they were. Mostly decent and this is the first "Yikes" that I had.
And I really did like the manager. I suspect he's the franchisee and I hope he makes a go of it. Everything is clean and has a fresh coat of paint.

Re: Priceline Picks the Hotel.
I’ve used Priceline a few times, but not in a while. I always just sort of assumed that, one way or another (whether quality, or specific location, or under renovation, whatever), I’d end up with the “worst” hotel in the star band I was purchasing in.

Re: Priceline Picks the Hotel.
My dumb?/smart?/neutral? assumption too.
Thus, I prefer to go the "Let Gutter Pick" route.
Thankfully 99 survived and is still with us today.

There's a public storage place just outside my window. Billy Joe Ray Bob has been pounding his back hoe against a rock all morning in their parking lot.
