"Often the "walk-in" rate is the cheapest."

this is wrong on so many levels.

walk ins will always get charged the most.

the best thing to do it to use a third party website (orbitz, priceline ect...)

they sell the rooms for the cheapest as they will get paid by the hotel regardless.

"The biggest mistake you can make is to say "Well, I have AAA or AARP" right off the bat, because most hotel employees are told that in that situation they are to give out the regular price and refer to it as discounted."

this is also wrong- there is a set AAA/ AARP rate most nights. On these nights these rates are ALWAYS lower than the walk in rate.
