With an additional 25% off it should be $487.50. Is that indeed how it works or is the 25% off some other number or is there something else I'm missing. Secondly is it worth arguing. There are 2 rooms with the other one not reflecting the 25% off either and that is a more expensive room.

Thanks
There is no easy answer. The 25% reduction only affects the net room rate. Taxes are then added to the new rate. In locations where taxes are a percentage of the rate, the total price will reduce according to the rate reduction. However, there are places that charge fixed amount taxes. Those will not reduce through a successful LNF claim. If you have any fixed price extras as part of the room rate such as 2nd, 3rd or 4th person fees these may not reduce through a successful LNF claim either.

So even with a successful LNF claim and a rate reduction of 25% the total room price reduction may be less than 25%. You'll need to check the details.
