Will the rates of the hotel be cheaper if i'll to book directly at the hotel lobby counter? Cos my parents are now in HongKong. If its cheaper then i'll get them to reserve room for me in July.

Normally walk-in rates etc are MUCH higher than for internet or agent bookings

Why not ask your parents to just ENQUIRE 1st then you can compare ????

Not really true. If you only book rooms without airfare or other bundle, many hotels now offer guranteed cheapest rate on their web sites.
