As a manager for a Super 8 Motel, let me assure you that the Best Rate or Free Night is strongly enforced, with the hotel having no option to not pay. I have been charged for a free night because someone found a rate for one cent less. On top of the free night the hotel has to pay a penalty to the franchise for not meeting the lowest rate. Often, third party web-sites (expedia, hotels.com, etc) do not display the additional people fees up front. This is confusing and often misleading.
