The express deals can get you stuck with a less than suitable situation. You may find yourself stuck in a smoking room with no recourse and paying for multiple rooms. Many hotels sell rooms they could not otherwise sell using the express deal. This could be extremely run down rooms or more often smoking rooms with heavy smoke saturation. You find you can't stay there but wind up paying for the room anyway because of the fine print and no refund policy on the express deal./

Booked a room using the Priceline Express Deal. When we checked in we found out why they were willing to book this room on the express deal. It was smoke saturated to an extrema. Price line blames the hotel and the hotel blames Priceline. The fact is, both have my money for 2 nights of a room I was unable to stay in. For a family trying to have one weekend at the beach, this hotel took all we had.
