Riddle me this folks... and trolls try to control yourself- I'm just trying to learn something. Why are hotels (limited sample size- but 100% of 3) unwilling to match internet prices? Like, today I was looking at a room for 1213tbh, but there wasn't an easy way to give a preference for where in the building so I contacted the hotel directly. They wanted 3000tbh. I asked if they would give me the other price and they said no I should book online.

But like... if I book online they will make EVEN LESS right? Shouldn't they be happy to take the business back from the aggregator?
