Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Sacramento (South Natomas) Four Points

[ewismer]

Need a hotel room tomorow night near UC Davis for a visit, so not much time to mess around for absolute best deal. First tried 2* in Davis for $50, rejected. Then moved to Sacramento area, South Natomas, 2.5* for $50, accepted. Have stayed in this hotel before, for same price, and it is a good deal. Newer hotel, nicely furnished, comfortable, and not too far from Davis. Even with gas, I believe cheaper than staying in Davis.

I'm surprised Priceline didn't upgrade the Four Points to 3* when they revised their ratings a few weeks ago. The Four Points is one of the nicest hotels in Natomas, imo.

Before the ratings revision Priceline had six different 2.5* hotels in the South Natomas zone. Priceline upgraded three of them to 3* (Courtyard, Residence Inn, Hilton Garden Inn) and left the other three at 2.5* (Four Points, Springhilll Suites, Staybridge Suites).

I find Priceline's distinction between 2.5* and 3* hotels arbitrary and meaningless. The 3* hotels in Natomas don't offer anything that the 2.5* don't have too, and all three 2.5*'s are newer hotels than the 3*'s.
