It wouldn't be rack rate because the hotel could be completely full and still not have sold any rooms at prices approaching rack rates. Rack rate is a fictional price posted on hotel doors for cases like major national political conventions, sporting events like the SuperBowl, etc. Outside of such times, no one would be paying the rack rate at the typical hotel.
