I flat out asked for a discount on the room we were staying at. The poor girl behind the counter was a bit surprised as well. You're right we simply accept things at face value more often than we should. I quoted an internet based quote for the same hotel and she launched into some explanation which I cut short and asked her if she could do anything? The net result was 10% off and a savings of 12$ - not much but something. I startled my poor wife a month or so back when we were staying in a hotel.
