On the phone they told me the rate would go up to $229 or $239 per night is I reduced the reservation from 6 nights to 3 night ... with their stated reason being that the shorter the stay the more expensive it is ... as that is how "extened stay" properties work.

Without cancelling my current reservation I tested that theory by starting from scratch and seeing what the rates would be for 2 new reservations ... one for 6 nights and one for 3 (using the dates I have). Contrary to what I was told, although the rates have now gone up considerably, the 6 night reservation would be $20 more expensive per night than the 3 night reservation. That's the part that doesn't make sense.

I hope that makes sense
