no that mean that PL made a profit of 25 percent.

the hotel might have recently changed their discount policy ... "more discount" toward PL to drive up buss.

i suggest calling the motel next time and let them know that you always stay there from PL... if the manager is smart enough he will reliaze more profit from you booking over then phone than PL/HW.

All i can say is that no matter where u find the price always call the property to avoid the middle man.

i can go into details on who makes what on this transcations. but i rather not

and if you are in hospitality buss. you know what i am talking about.
