> hotel was restricting the availability of rooms/rates to us, but not disclosing that. not disclosing to you, perhaps, but well known practice across all hotels. clearly instigated by one of the first online hotel room marketplace sites. "just feed us 3 rooms at a time ... we'll promote them as running out ... wink wink". as a competitor to booking.com you should have known about this practice. you're going through some contortions to justify vile practices on behalf of the online booking agents.
