It's very rare that hotels.com has a lower rate in the UK....
hotels.com, booking.com and other top market players very rarely have lower rates than marriott.com because those OTAs have a policy of not resorting to rogue rates when hotels are able to maintain a very high threshold of online rate parity and Marriott, due to its size and market share, is becoming better and better at keeping rate parity.
