Basically, it sucks to be you if you are not internet savvy. Yes, welcome to the new world.

What about businesses that can’t operate if the “computer” is down?

But if you saw that their house had been for sale because of an agent’s sign then the agent gets the fee.
I am sure that business, being good at not loosing a buck, has a contract with these hotels. You did mention seeing low prices on the internet, so perhaps you could try just telling them that a friend had paid much less just last week. Or just do what is popular in Mexico… offer less and see what happens.
But, they do have a contract now…. so they may be stuck with paying a commission if they don’t get full fair (or fare).
It’s a strange new world.
