Maybe I'm missing something here.

I tried to book two consecutive nights for a Hilton brand hotel and got a certain rate (the same) for each of the two nights. I then tried booking the same hotel for the same nights but by making two reservations, one for each of the nights, instead if one reservation for the same two nights. The separate night rates were more than 10% cheaper.

So I can check out after one night, check back in, get fresh sheets and save over 10% (and maybe get a second welcome gift).

Anyone know why a hotel would do this?
