(Yes, sometimes I make mistakes!!!

Anyhow, the other thing about these 2-for-1 deals is that they are limited availability, and quite often you will not find them available back-to-back at the same hotel on the dates you want. Hence, you might end up hotel-hopping simply to be able to maximize your savings.
Done back-to-back 2-4-1 rate bookings 3 times now and never even thought about the risk you mentioned. Never had a problem with the hotel either. Up to everyone to draw a conclusion... I would/ will do it again
