I have found an interesting situation when trying different combinations of dates and rates. At times, if I find a really good AAA rate one night and the next night is higher, if I book it as a 2 night stay, the rate stays the same lower rate for both nights. Usually, I have found this with a Friday night stay continuing to a higher Saturday night rate, but also saw it work for a low Sunday night rate being extended to a Monday night. Looks like an incentive to fill beds on low occupancy dates by rewarding you for coming a day earlier.
