Hi -

I don't think they can do that without notice, no. That said, I have seen hotels offer different nightly rates, based on the days you are staying (meaning, Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun nights might have different rates). This is more based on the popularity of area you are visiting.

If you booked in advance, I'd imagine you have something already stating what rates you agreed to. With that I would work with the hotel's central reservation office to sort out the issue.

Good Luck.

Yes! definately they will and why not? For example those highly damanded hotel, they will increase their rates without any further notice, reason all the hotels are all depending on their individual occupancy and all the rates increase are base on the occupancy itself, u juz imagine this senario : When your hotels are mostly occupied by guest whom already made a confirmed reservation non-guaranteed reservation and guest whom already stay inhouse and wish to continue further their stay, they only have limited rooms for walk in guest, which some of them try their luck to walk in eventhough the hotels cant take anymore reservation so, since its very difficult for them to find any other hotels, they have no choice but to pay whatever amount quoted, especially on weekend its a peak period!! And of course its not fair for those who already make the reservation, the hotel itself shud proceed with the price quoted when the guest make the reservation earlier on, and not to quote the price after the reservetion and its not fair! that i agree, or maybe they can just explain to the guest the prices for the next day, as thay already do their job, its up to the guest to decide whether to stay on or to leave...
