[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did hotels start charging 2k a night????!!!! I know these are luxury brand names but this seems excessive. [b]Some of the normal brands are charging 1000-1500???!!![/b] What is happening to the travel industry? It’s not like the amenities have improved. Is there a hotel worth these crazy prices? [/quote]

What is a "normal" brand in your mind?[/quote]

In my mind, normal would be JW or an Opal brand. Not Ritz or Four Seasons. I find Hilton to be a tier below JW/Opal. Rosewood is an entirely different league. [/quote]

JW Marriott is not normal.  It is considered and is marketed as a luxury brand.

Perhaps the problem isn't the price.  Perhaps the problem is one of what you consider "normal".

PSA:  Normal to rich people is NOT normal.[/quote]

completely agree.  a hilton or marriott is a regular hotel.[/quote]

agree x2.  A Hilton is a nice hotel for us, but our usual is a Hampton Inn or Homewood Suites.  There is a caveat for Hiltons.  While it's the brands namesake property, they are all over the place in terms of upkeep, cleanliness and service.  Some of them are really nice and others are actually below a Hampton Inn.  Nobody will ever confuse a Hampton or Homewood Suites for a luxury property, but the thing they get right is consistency, which I value.

If you're complaining about the cost of a JW Marriott or Ritz Carlton, you might be like me and unable to afford those brands and/or the value just isn't there.[/quote]
