I did a search for both nights together and it was just twice the price of the single nights. The reason why I also needed to search for a single night separately, was because the first night was already approved 5 weeks ago and I just needed an extra night, for which I send a new claim.
The agent was saying in his emails that he could find that a single night was lower, but not both nights together. Which was not correct! As it was on the Marriott and the competing website just twice the price of a single night.
That's what I pointed out to him.

I don't think that the hotel would be pleased, if a claim just gets approved, because a agent didn't want to reply any further. Especially, if the agent is correct in his denial of the claim. Because from what I am told by a couple of hotels, every approved claim is quite expensive for the hotel.
