Yeah, I had thought about doing just that (checking out and checking back
in).  But looking to get the rates for JUST wednesday night, it jumps up to
$269!  I guess they want to be sure to get their money!

Oh well, i'll have to call and work something out I guess...

It was nice that the Grand Pacific Palisades in Carlsbad just
automatically had the rate change. I bet if you call the hotel directly,
you can negotiate a rate which gives the business rate for the one
night, and the lower rate for the other nights (probably all you need
point out if they are reluctant is that it will cost THEM money to have
you check out and then check in again...).
