My point is that one can spend a lot more money by ordering over the Internet
than going directly to the motel.

The opposite is also true. We flew in somewhere in the Colorado
area and I looked up hotels on my phone. It was late and we were
just going to fly out the next day so I picked something cheap.
We drove a courtesy car there and my wife checked us in.

It was much more expensive than the quoted price. They told her
they only give that price for reservations made online.
