If it is easy to find a range of rates, and the client ever looked up rates for that hotel, and found out that you were booking a $249/night rate, when a $189 or $199 rate was consistently available, how long do you think you will have that client?
It is! I booked through Marriott.com and they have since lowered the rate. I really had no reason to be checking up on it... It was booked legitimately and as requested.
Not too worried about the "client" checking up on it. Because of a few circumstances I won't say in public.
