Do you think it is wrong ?
That is commonplace. It also has to do with the rate you pay. If you need to stay over a weekend the rate may be higher/lower than the weekday rate.

For me I work for government and during the work week staying at the govt rate is usually cheaper than the regular booking rate...but not always. Friday and Saturday stay at the govt rate may be a lot higher than the weekend rate. Similarly say you stay Friday night your rate may be the business rate you paid the other nights but if you booked it separately the rate is lower.
