Priceline Hotel: 3* Orange County (Coast Mesa-Irvine) Hilton Irvine-SNA

[chai714]

After having booked through Priceline and getting 1 room at the Hilton Irvine for Saturday, May 26th, I called to request 2 beds. The lobby guy named "Eric" asked me my name and confirmation number which I gave him. He then said "sir, in order for me to grant your request you will need to tell me which website you booked through." I replied, "it was booked for me, I do not know." He then was rude and said, "I can't give you any requests if you don't tell me which website you booked through."

Why does it matter which website I booked through? Is this for identity confirmation purposes or do they treat each person different according to the website you booked through?

**Upon checkin, I was offered a "Parlor Room" (hotel was short on 2 bed rooms) which turned out to be awesome! Plasma TV, couch, loveseat, full sized dinner table with chandalier, mini-fridge, microwave, bare area, and very spacious. Stayed on the top floor (10th) and staff treated me like gold. Not sure why but maybe it was luck?
