Hotels have different types of rooms. The ones that are basic, no view, non-suite are called Run of the House. Then you may have oceanfront, oceanview, garden view, city view, suite, Jr. suite, one bedroom, two bedroom, penthouse, presidential suite, etc. It has more to do with the type of room you book.

It is actually in the hotel's best interest to have you book online. The more people that book online, the less reservations agents they have to pay to man phones. For the hotel, it would no make sense to give you a "bad" room if you book online. They want you to keep booking online.

I am not sure about desk clerks "favoring" higher paying guests. We booked 2 hotel rooms on Priceline and paid a ridiculously low amount. Ended up with corner room overlooking harbor with gigantic windows. (Paid for regular double).
Have received both good and bad rooms booking both ways. But I have always wondered how you get what room - I always thought it had to do with when you got there and what rooms had been vacated and cleaned.

I find that when I book Priceline, I get a mix of rooms. In Chicago, I got a room with a view; in New York, I got a larger room just for asking; in San Francisco I got a room by the parking lot; and in Tucson, I got a room by the elevator and parking lot.
