if you pay more for a room the staff will directly benefit. I think it just increases profit for the owners. Others have posted, and I think they are right, that there are different rates for different groups of people and you will never be offered a room for less than their agreed lowest price.
I think that its probably occupancy that counts where the staff are concerned not what you paid for your room.
