I don't mention the site because I'm so use to using the thread here at FT about Marriott's successful LNF. Someone from IHG or the properties might be monitoring the site.
I think the no currency comparison thing is a way to limit claims filed by customers

Sorry for that. However, it seems that the problem is not related to currencies, but the room type itself, right? If so, your case doesn't prove that the third-party website that you use is ineligible for comparison because it doesn't use the hotel's currency.
