Two different days, though. I had returned to Carmel in the meantime. I just added the word "again" to that last sentence to make it clearer...

It was a very nice motel (except for the phone issue). I think I got lucky with that price, though. I booked it through travelweb.com. It was the only motel in that area that quoted a price under $100/night.
When I was looking around for ideas on where to go, I found that one with a price of $42/night. A few days later I made up my mind that's where I was going to head, so I went back to make my reservations and this time the site quoted $49/night. I hurried up and booked it before it went up any more.
The next day I got curious to see if it had changed again, so I went back. This time it wasn't even listed for those days. I figured it was probably sold out and not available, so I redid my search, using the dates for the same days in the next week. That search had the motel in the results again, this time at $99/night.
