Congratualtions on your win and thank you for sharing it with the board.

Sure people pay the 'hotel rates' above, but i suspect most are business travelers on expense accounts, guests who want/need to stay at a specific hotel, or those who think "why would anyone pay for a hotel before knowing which one it is". :)

Priceline and HOTWIRE users get deep discounts in exchange for being flexible in their plans... if you can't be flexible, then you pay top dollar.

Glad to see you're hapy with the results and the savings.

Enjoy your stay.
