It was also an issue for regionals. We saw hotel prices increase by $20-50/night when Steele took over bookings for regionals, compared to when we booked the exact same hotels directly in the past. I'm sure the convenience factor of using Steele is very appealing for some teams, however there are many others who'd prefer just to work directly with the hotels and not pay the premium for Steele's service.
