Inspired by threads indicating APH rates were lower than ET rates I have done the following:
RPR Feb 3rd initially booked at $ 119 ET rate. NOW changed to HRH Feb 3rd $ 119 APH rate....so I go to the HRH (APH) for the same rate as the RPR ( ET )rate.
HRH October 19th and 20th. I initially got ET rate at $162 however the APH rate came out at $ 167!!! I tried the PBH and that was $ 188 APH rate ( no ET rate showing when I checked by phone). I decided to change for 3 nights at the PBH and cancelled HRH.
October 29th and 30th. I initially got the ET rate of $168 at RPR ( as it is a weekend) I tried the APH rates and it came out $146! So I booked three nights at the better rate and cancelled the 2 nights ( still over the weekend).
It seems that the APH rates were consistent apart from the HRH which were showing either no APH rates or expensive APH rates.
I am pleased with the rates I have as it means I will try all three this year.
The APH rates were obtained through the www.loewshotels.com website as that made it easy to type in the different dates. ( it took me quite a while to work out the different dates.)
I booked them all on line as fresh reservations and then phoned and cancelled the existing reservations otherwise it would have been too complicated to juggle them on the phone especially as I tweaked around with a few of the dates as well!
