I was looking at their rates and noticed that for the same room category and the same dates, clicking through the Carlson website often gave higher rates than clicking on the hotel name and searching from the hotel's own websitein blue and black with the dramatic picture of the building. This was true for different rate types, including best available rates. There were also some differences in higher category rooms, such as business rooms, being offered as available for special rate types only on the hotel's own site. Be careful!
