First, kudo to Aleksander, it is an important discovery.

We contacted the corporate branch of the hotel and they were surprised
by the online price offered. The price they said on the online offer
was 963HKD* without Internet and our current price with through the
corporate branch is 1000HKD+120HKD for one Internet login account. And
it is a group booking for 10 rooms. If we can get ourselves organised
and register before this Friday (21 days in advance), the online
opinion is better.

The corporate branch refused to lower the price but can allow us to pay later.

* Aleksander, can you let us know the origin of 935HKD?
