I have learned now to click through the nominally higher priced hotels to find out the overall cost of the stay. This is especially important for longer stays, where there is a greater opportunity for daily price fluctuation.
The problem is that few people know to do this. It's not only unfair to hotels that are more expensive for the first night, but causes those who pick based on the price they see to pay more than necessary for those hotel nights.
