I have reviewed the response made by the...

business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me although the issue can not be resolved.  Customer service named [redacted] agreed to review the offer for the room with price of 55 per night I received from Priceline if I could fax him the documentation. when I asked him to review offers priceline sent to me he advised that although he works to resolve issues at Priceline he is unable to get into the system in that way.   I have searched my email server, office and home and have been unable to locate the 55 offer document that I printed that triggered my expectation that they (priceline) would honor their "best price guarantee" - subsequently I am forced to withdraw this complaint.  thank you for your attention.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:Thank you Teddi for your quick response. However, I do not agree with you that you have rated this hotel properly although some of your other competitor also overate "[redacted]" as a 4.5 star hotel. As a frequent traveler as you can find how many hotels stays I had made via Priceline as your loyal member in past years, I advise you carefully investigate the hotels star levels since that information could be really misleading especially in your "express deal" and "Name Your Own Price" features. I have done some investigation for your company, this hotel used to be a 4.5 star hotel because it was affiliated under [redacted] until 31 Aug 2015. Its former name was "[redacted] New York", and [redacted] is well known for their high-end hotel. http://pointsmilesandmartinis.boardingarea.com/2015/08/[redacted]-loses-...⇄ can see the picture before, they used to have a bright well decorated lobby I guess which is now a restaurant. However, since it became this "Hotel 48lex New York", it did not carry on the [redacted] style 4.5 star but a boutique hotel in my opinion. Since I do not believe a 4.5 star does not have a decent welcome lobby, do not mention about bell boys and other infrastructures. I had stayed some 4.5 star hotels in NYC before including the [redacted] and [redacted]. I have to admit the staff was very nice to offer room arrangement for our anniversary trip. But that has nothing to do with what I complained which was this hotel was definitely not a 4.5 star, and you provided misleading information for me to stay there 5 nights that under my expectation.  The infrastructure such as the heating was so noisy both my wife and me had been waked up several times every night. And I told one of the staff he told me it was common and asked me to call the front desk for engineers.... I had been blamed by my wife many times for that.... Does that sounds a 4.5 star hotels in your professional experience if you really see how the hotel looks like? Even the cap driver did not believe that was a 4.5 star hotel when we had this conversation. 
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:It is beyond petty and small to hide behind fine print in this matter.  I have used your service several times in the past and it would be a shame to lose a customer over this amount of money.  Yes, I understand that legally you are in the right.  Ethically you are not.  This is not how you treat customers if you at all value them or their business.  If that is how you want to play this matter I am more than happy to take my voice to social media to broadcast my displeasure with your service.  
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: They do not admit that the selections available are indeed misleading and have caused a significant impact in my vacation. I do not think it is right for Priceline to trick you into staying in a location you do not want.  I do see what they are saying and have looked at the map and see that there is an area of shaded area that skirts out away from the [redacted] to include this hotel. This is not good business and is very deceitful. Yes, I should have looked closer at the map, but honestly even if I had I'm not sure that I would have done anything differently.  The fact that I am booking a hotel says that I am not familiar with location and when I check a box that says [redacted] it seems reasonable that I am selecting hotel options on the [redacted]. When you consider further that I did not check the box that says Near [redacted] it makes even more sense that I would reasonably assume that I would be staying in a hotel on the [redacted]. I am traveling to [redacted] for the [redacted] experience and increased my bid accordingly because it was worth it to me to pay more to be in the middle of the action.  If my plan was to stay in a hotel off the [redacted] that doesn't even have a casino in it you can imagine I would have lowered my bid considerably.  I am sure nothing will ever come of this but it is very sad that Priceline is not willing to even admit that what they have done is wrong and deceitful and will make no attempt to fix it.  It should not be ok to have you check a box that says on the [redacted] and then give you a hotel that is not on the [redacted].  I am a reasonable person and understand that I assume a level of risk when bidding on hotels and might not be thrilled with the outcome.  This has actually happened in the past and I never said a thing because it happens.  This however is different, I am out a considerable amount of money to stay at a hotel that was not even close to being what I selected. Yes, I get that they have their out but it doesn't change the fact that it is misleading.  I am the only one that will pay, ruined vacation and out the cash.
Sincerely,
[redacted]
