Hard to say if you really got a good deal with 0% ?
What would have been the price of all competitors if you had paid in cash with a negotiated discount ?

It is like asking how long a piece of string is ?

But back to the topic: I vote NO for extension of status just because the economy is bad.
Hotel prices will fall overall so that is the appropriate weapon to compete.
