There may be another explanation to this that I discovered when I had to reserve a motel room for meetings somewhere.
When I called a particular motel by phone, they said the rooms were all reserved. I, therefore, did an online google search for available rooms and discovered that there were rooms availabe in that particular motel.
When I called back and questioned them about this, they explained that there are organizations that reserve blocks of rooms for a set price and then they make them available for online searchers. I actually got the room for a cheaper rate than what the motel itself was offering.
This could be the same thing that has happened in the areas where 3ABN is located, but then, as I reflect on this further, maybe not, for the reason that a call to the motels should have resulted in their saying that the rooms are reserved, as was the case in my situation.
