I am a Holiday Inn employee and i dont recommend Priceline or any other internet "agency". 1. Hotels are categorized not by name brand, but by quality rating AND depends on who does the rating. A 3 star hotel can be any brand, holiday inn, hilton, etc. If Priceline suggested a hotel you have stayed at before which you didnt like then thats just another reason to not use priceline. 3. If you want points, then you need to book through Holiday Inn central reservations or call the hotel directly. Many online agencies do not have the system to enter hotel membership club numbers. Also note that the advanced purchase prices online for Holiday Inn do have restrictions. Some restrictions may be advance payment, or no cancellations allowed, and therefore may be lower than regular reservation prices. Priceline im sure also has some restrictions. Well, there you go. I would never use an online agency but thats me.
