Booking Sleep Inns on the Internet
Has anyone else found ridiculously high rates when trying to book a Sleep Inn on the Internet? I've never stayed in one of the hotels, but there's one in a little town we will be visiting in about seven months. The other (reputable) hotel in town is a Hampton Inn with a $65 triple-A rate. The Sleep Inn has three or four room types, starting at $120/night (AAA) and going up to $175/night (rack rate). I *know* there should be $50 rooms in this motel. (I'm talking basic weekend nights, not on a holiday or anything.)
So what's the deal? Is the website screwy? Or are Sleep Inns really, really expensive - even in little towns next to the highway?
