Many hotels (and other local businesses), located in certain countries that have historically unstable currencies often quote prices in another, more stable currency (such as USD or EUR), so as to avoid having to update their rates/prices on a hourly/daily/weekly basis.
Unfortunately, many hotels also view this as an opportunity to "play around" with the exchange rate...
