Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Each hotel negotiates for a rate with the company. I have very good rates at Hyatts near some of our large offices or at locations where we have a lot of travel.
It also depends upon the economy. My corp rate at one hotel was about $175 per night, including 1 breakfast for 2013. This year it's $205 because the hotel is busier.
