Misleading prices for bookings in NYC
2nd & 3rd pictures : Sofitel NY, book from €698,41, but next screen the lowest price is €801,43
4th & 5th pictures : Novotel NY, book from €620,52, but next screen the lowest price is €712,05

some weird things (6 & 7 th pictures):
for Sofitel NY : one of the rate proposed is "Canada 150 credit offer". No idea what this is. And if you click on details, in the section "benefits included in the rate : you cannot cumulate this offer with another promotion and you cannot convert the credit in cash". So I understand between the lines that you get a credit of CAD150 to spend at the hotel for F&B for instance, but why on earth would I have a credit in CAD in a US hotel and as a French person booking on the French website . And something else pretty weird at the bottom of the details screen, section "credit card fees". With such a title, you expect something like a supplement if you pay by CC. But no, it's telling you that the hotel is entirely non-smoking and if you smoke, they will charge you 300 Australian dollars for cleaning

hmmmm
All fun for us world traveller! It's a game!
