Thanks, Alan, I wasn't entirely sure on how it worked. It's still FAR simpler and more predictable than airfares, though...

So if your room goes back into the lowest fare bucket but the rest of the rooms are being sold at the highest one, does that mean the next person to come along and check prices for that route will see the room at the lowest bucket? Then, when he books it, the second person to come along will see it at the highest bucket?
