How we work this out
Every hotel here is queried nightly for a fixed set of stays — one night and seven, two adults, at constant booking lead times — across the next twelve months. Holding the question the same is what makes a change in the answer mean something. Prices are the whole stay as quoted; a nightly figure is that total divided by its nights and is never compared across different stay lengths. The longer version.
