InterContinental BA experience so far (was: Re: Hotel situation)

Hi,

For IETF95 I booked a room in the InterContinental BA.

On the IETF hotel-information page it says:

"At the time a reservation is made, Hotel shall charge guest one night's 
room charge and tax (non-refundable)."
However, the hotel charged my credit card for the full amount of the 
stay (which is a considerable sum of money). Isn't this unusual?
Anyone else with a similar experience?
