"As of now" is a sampling methodology error.

If you want to explore disparities, you need to do it with equivalent 
conditions.

You did not make your reservation "as of now". You made it some time ago. Conditions change and hotels vary their room rates accordingly.

When you went through the process of making the reservation, did you also check around for a lower rate at the same hotel? /THAT/ is the comparison to make.

(FWIW, you will often find lower rates, then, not just for the reasons that have been suggested so far. There is also typically a difference in the type of room that is allocated in a meeting block. Or, at least, that's a common claim for conference room rates.)
