What is this per/person?? Either adjust to a flat $500 nightly or be straightforward and reflect the actual costs to book into each room class.
If it's an all-inclusive package with dinners, then that should be a separate rate as any other reputable hotel would offer. I personally have no interest in a meal package as I like to explore the regional cuisine and wouldn't spend my vacation time meals in this particular dining room. But to advertise varying rates based on single or double occupancy in a luxury cottage accommodating that same number of guests is really off-putting to me, especially for a supposedly high end R&C Inn. I've yet to experience this at any hotel or resort I've visited so far, from the most exclusive boutique properties to the top end luxury hotel chains... It comes off entirely classless in my opinion.
Uhh... The rate is different for single and double occupancy because the rates include breakfast and dinner with service per person per night. I'm not a math wiz, but it is meant to reflect the value of the food.

If you have a problem with the price, then don't stay there. Obviously this formula works for this hotel. They can't really count on walk in traffic to fill the dining room so they "force" the dinners on guests. Pretty normal here in Quebec as La Pinsonniere does it too in high season. I even have blocked the whole inn before for groups who were still charged for food even though they never once ate dinner at the hotel.
