The market rate is subject to fluctuation; the deal we have is a
guaranteed fixed rate. I don't know if you can get $139 for July, but
since Wikimedia DC is not obliged to give them any money in any case,
it couldn't hurt to try.

Hi James,
Can you clarify something? because it doesn't make sense to me... I
tried to
order via the website (hope the link will work):
https://booking.ihotelier.com/istay/istay.jsp?hotelid=4614&LanguageID=1…
The same room, the same dates - via your deal will costs 149$ per night,
and
direct by the website cost 139$ without any discount... Maybe for now it
will be better to order directly while the pre-orders prices on this
hotel
are lower?
