The ABA rates are most useful for dates with very high demand. Hotels jack up the rates to whatever the market will bear, and that might be a lot. But the ABA rate is fixed and must be available to an ABA member if that room type has any availability. A couple of times I had to get the ABA involved to enforce that contractual provision the hotel has with the ABA.
