I have to say that yes sometimes booking direct does get a better rate however it really depends on the hotel. The rates I quote and book within my agency are all negotiated by Australian based whoesalers and their product buyers and some hotels simply are able to contract better rates than others.
Sounds like you just get a better rate going direct which is great.
