Appreciate the post, but not that great of a rate; definitely not a mistake. Other hotels in the area are $45+. The same hotel for the same nights goes for $38 on Expedia. So cheaper, yes, but not that great.

Where did the OP mention "mistake"?

This is Hotel deals forum, rather than the hotel mistake deals. If the rate is 50% off from their usual rates - it is a deal. Or it is not? :rolleyes:

Depends on your definition of a deal. It's $7 off $38 (their normal rate for this season), so it's only 18% off. These are the rates for that area in the winter, which one cannot compare to their regular rate in the summer and then call it 50% off. Because then you might as well list all the hotels in that area.

He didn't say mistake, but he did say the usual rate is around $70 and that's just not true. Not for the winter it isn't.

OP often posts junk non-deals

You completely missed my point.

Welcome to FT, great first post.

I'll second that OP often posts junk posts. Simply because a hotel is under $100 doesn't make it a good deal. The fact that hotels have low seasons doesn't make that whole season a "deal " for posting. "Deal" implies significantly cheaper than comparable hotels in the area at that time of year, or for that hotel that time of year. This comes up every so often, typically when posters with commercial blogs throw darts at a map, and use kayak to find rooms at low season and post them on here.
