I really wish I hadn't gotten upgraded. The Residence Inn has free full breakfast and free Internet, whereas the Crowne Plaza has neither! :) These reviewers from Tripadvisor are extremely worrisome as well:

When I called the hotel to confirm my reservation I was informed that Priceline reservations are for smoking rooms only. I was told to "read the small print" that they had "run of the house" and they "assigned all Priceline rooms to smoking". If I wanted non-smoking I had to pay an additional $20 per room (I had 2) for them. Never before was I ever charged extra for using Priceline, nor has any hotel ever tried to force me into a smoking room, especially considering it would subject children to the toxins in the room.

and

It was a Saturday night so the hotel was quite full with tour buses and weddings. We had to accept a smoking room with a balcony.

Had you tried to add an additional night to your first bid?

[AEmgee]

No, I didn't.

I assume $38 was rejected prior to this acceptance?

Let us know how your non-smoking request at check-in goes.

Good Luck.

[AEmgee]

Yes, $38 was rejected. Thereuare knows me too well :)

Best rate online is $67/night (government rate).

As usual, will write a review upon my return.
