[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is, once again, not a representative sample. Hotel revenue management teams are absolutely price things based on supply and demand.  There wouldn’t be high prices in hotels if people wouldn’t pay them.

I think people aren’t being accurate on about how much they actually are paying for hotels either.  [/quote]

We are paying $535/night for the Polynesian at Disney this summer. That is with a 30% discount from Disney for summer dates. (Yes, we’ve been before in the summer.) This is the upper end of what I’ll pay for a hotel but I’ve always thought this hotel had a cool vibe and I like the transportation options. In London last summer I think I ended up spending $600 because I wanted two queen beds which is hard to find. Over spring break we are going to Grand Cayman on points because I could not stomach any of the cash prices.

For college visits, softball tournaments, visits to family, we just stay in whatever $150-200 place is close and gets the best reviews. I’m a big believer in trusting reviews over going with a specific brand.

This is the honest truth. I’m sure people pay more but I don’t think it’s totally correlated to income. The spender people I know don’t necessarily have a higher income. And DH (law firm partner) has plenty of colleagues with high incomes who are terrible with money and openly complain about never being able to afford retirement.[/quote]
