The short answer
OTA commission for an independent hotel is commonly 15–20% of each booking, charged on the full stay value. On $150 a night, that is roughly $22–30 per night handed over on every booking the OTA brings — and it recurs for as long as those bookings keep arriving through a middleman. The way to reduce it is not negotiation, which is rarely available to a small property, but shifting suitable bookings to a direct channel where no commission applies at all.
Based on a conservative 15% OTA commission — many charge 15–20%. Your real saving depends on your rates and how many guests you move to direct booking.
