Thrown out of an FBO...

Wherever I happened to be that day, I would just find a hotel for the
night... I encountered hotels who would not give me the same rate that I
could get via booking their room via one of the online sites... So, I
drove around the neighborhood, found an open wireless internet connection
and booked it... In one case, the online site brought up a competitor that
was an even better deal, so the hotel actually lost my business... Maybe I
wasn't speaking to the owner or manager, but since they appeared to be
Indian, I at least had a good reason to assume that they were... grin

This is a sign of dealing with an econobox chain McMotel. The chains
will often offer cheaper rates on line than the local "manager" (really
just a clerk) can offer. Whenever this is the case, run.

Real, owner-run hotels will always offer you a better deal -- because
they *can*.
