I wasn't sure whether or not I should start a new topic altogether since it deals more with Advance Purchase Rate than the actual property. Anyway I booked a Andaz Large for March 1-4 last January 4 for 2,120RMB/night, but was surprised that when I checked today the rate dropped to 1,800RMB a difference of about 320RMB/night. I honestly felt cheated because if it were a regular rate I could have canceled and made a new booking but since I already paid for my stay 2 months in advance, I felt cheated because I expected the Advance Purchase Rate to be the lowest possible rate that normally goes up as the date nears and not the other way around.
