That's what I would have thought...but I seem to have been wrong.
Last weekend we took the kids to a local hotel for a friends birthday party and the online theme room price was $160 with this wording next to it, "Online price only".
I phoned to double check on the amenities and asked them how much it was to book it by phone and they said $150.
edit-I think they may be taking advantage of people that don't compare prices, because "Online price only" SOUNDS like it'll be the best deal. Or, they're short sighted and trying to pay for their website expenses with the price difference.
