Driving round Cape Cod/Massachusetts for the last four days, and yesterday we decided to visit Old Sturbridge Village in East Mass.

So we rocked up to a hotel, where the Internet rack rate was $200 per night per room, but Booking.com had it for $150.

We went into reception and asked for their best rate, and they quoted $115 - so far so good.

The heating in the room wasn't working, so they sent someone to fix it (unsuccessfully).

When we checked out this morning, we pointed this out, and they reduced the rate by $50 to $65 per night per room, and threw in 2 entry tickets to Old Sturbridge Village free of charge (normal cost $48 for 2), so our room ended up costing us $17 - result!
