Thanks Suze for doing this. I noticed some killer views from the hotel room too that we'll have to get up too. But I was wondering, how much exactly did you pay through Priceline? I think the average rate here is like $180...Also, so what do you think of the Marriott Smoking Ban?

Juliana,
We paid $100/night for the room using Priceline, but I think we could even have gotten it for less. The hotel was packed, too. The rack rate is $259, so we were very very pleased!
We don't smoke, so any hotel that offers smoke-free rooms is on our short list. Nothing bothers me more than being assigned a room that smells like cigarette smoke.

Ah, is that what you were looking for? For a long time, it looked like your 'submit a story' button was gone, but I see it's back now. Will start submitting again...

Welcom back.  Yeah, spammers, pr flacks, etc, killed the submit a story usefullness (makes us wonder about other, bigger hotel review sites) so we jacked up the permissions.  Now, you can leave comment reviews on any hotel pages and stories.  However, if you want to submit a story for possible HotelChatter publication you have to have permissions, which you earn by being a good commenter, etc.  You should already have the appropriate permissions, let me know if you don't and I will make sure you get them.
