If you book a hotel yourself, then you have more or less said to easyJet that you don't require their assistance. easyJet will book you into a hotel that they deem to be satisfactory, if you go and book a four or five start hotel yourself (and in your own words, that you wouldn't have booked otherwise) easyJet will quite rightly tell you where to go!
