December is this hotel's dearest month for a single refundable night, $221. This deal is a different product — 1 nights, non-refundable, priced 90 days ahead — and the claim above compares it with this room's own median at the same stay length and lead, not with these one-night rates. On the last sweep, among the 45 comparable hotels we priced for a single night, this room was 2nd cheapest.
