Hotel prices on the rise in 2010 {Gadling}

Jan 4th 2010 3:18AM You need to see the whole picture. When high end hotels offer all types of amenities and lower their prices to meet the low end traveler they get a whole different crowd. Wouldn't you stay for the same price at ahotel that offers luxury linen, robes for use, chocolates and mini bars for a cheap rate. For that the luxury hotel gets all their items stolen and when they charge the people they deny it and get out of paying. How can the nice resorts replace these things if they are not making the money per night to do it? These people are not spending extra money at the hotel, they bring their own six pack. It costs the hotel to have the low end traveler steal items and trash their rooms.
