The Silverado Resort & Spa is part of the 4* group. Using the PRICELINE link, I recently bid on 4* @$100, was rejected, added Benecia at @ $110 and was accepted by Silverado. Problem is Silverado's pricing is much lower than the other 4*'s in Napa, effectively "cornering" the Napa bid market. Reading the reviews on Priceline it appears the much older rooms are used for Priceline guest and the rooms are much below 4* quality.
