Hotels are a total scam.
300+ dollars a night almost everywhere you go.
They just make their own prices based on nothing because they know people will pay.
Only makes sense for people who are literally unphased financially from dropping that kind of dough just for a simple room.

You can get a hotel for a lot cheaper than 300 dollars a night.

you are an idiot
>The hotels offer a nice price/performance/service deal
They offer privacy, clean and service. It's very competitive and they pretty much have to offer something for their price.
>There are also cheaper hotels
Timed specials, group discounts, or just plain ol' modest accommodations.
>There are alternative to hotels
Hostels (duh), couch surfing, or straight up renting places like a local.

300 for a hotel? where? Theres always hotels for under 100 and shitty meth head motels for 50-80.. i know what ya mean tho. they bank off the desperation of travelers.
airbnb is just as over-priced.

>Base their price on nothing.
You do realize unless there's more than one hotel in the city they'll have to compete right?
They also have to base it on the quality.
But yeah, they are rip offs unless you're rich
I stayed in the heart of Washington DC for 60 dollars a night
I'd much rather do something like that than stay in a fucking hostel
