Summary of Room Charges:
* Friday, January 8, 2010 - Monday, January 11, 2010 (3 nights)
* Cost per night per room (EUR) 159.00
* CE Winter Buy 3 Pay 2 Promotion, buy 2 nights get 3rd free per stay, based upon availability, see Rate Rules
* Estimated government taxes and fees - 7.95
* Total for stay (per room) - 500.85

So this is more of a Buy 3 Pay 2 But We Actually Charge You 3 promotion.

What a joke.

I just stayed in Barcelona on this promo. The reservation showed 3 nights but when I checked in the front desk acknowledged a free night. At check-out they had removed one nights stay and only billed me for 2 nights plus tax.
