I regularly pretend book my nearby Marriot Hotel. I keep my peak rates way less...they triple their price on those dates... and my regular rate about 25% less. Recently, when I did this, they have a new feature..about a 20% discount if you booked under a no cancellation, no refund rate....
and they have begun charging $35/night for both valet and self parking, completely recouping the initial discount. This tells me that the corporate Abnbs are cutting into their pocket and their response is to become like the old Airbnb.
