Wouldn't be surprised if they tweak their thresholds for comping rooms to fill rooms that would otherwise go vacant.

They also have tweaked pricing to keep rooms filled. The same room at MB is going for $70 on 3/13 (Sunday) vs. $270 on 3/16 (Wed). (To be honest, sophisticated enough that I don't even really understand that. Usually it is the weekends that have the prices jacked.)
