WillTravel Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Personally I'll be happy for this. Given that the Priceline rules state that Priceline requests a non-smoking room (although the mechanics are open to debate given that some chains seem to give smoking rooms to all Priceline guests), I think smokers will be out of luck if they complain about getting a Westin.
