Can you please doublecheck your priceline confirmatino screen and see if you were upgraded on this 4* bid to a RESORT property... i believe this property is Resort rated by priceline.

Thanks.

When you select a quality level for your bid, you are bidding for that level OR HIGHER, because Priceline can upgrade you at any time. That's why the Resort quality level was checked on the bidding screen when your bid was rejected. Exiting and starting a new bid won't prevent a possible upgrade. Keep this in mind when you're adding zones. If you want to add a zone, but don't want to win a hotel in that zone, make sure that zone only has hotels of lower quality than what you're bidding for. When you added Tempe to your 4* bid, you left yourself open to the possibility of being upgraded to a resort in Tempe.

You're absolutely correct. It is classified as a RESORT property.
