[quote=Anonymous]Whenever we’re staying and eating on the same property I figure the rooms should cost 25% more than they are sold for and the food/bev prices or anything else on the property like an $8 latte are just to make it up on the back end. Presumably because people comparison shop on the room price. Like I remember we stayed at a hotel recently and they passed a temporary tax with the county to help finance a big historically sensitive renovation that was written to apply only to the hotel and passes directly to the hotel. So it’s just a way to charge more for the rooms without it showing up in the advertised, pre-tax price. Food is the same thing. So what you should do is a little front end math to try to figure out if the all in cost is okay for you. If it is, you can just turn a blind eye to the prices on specific things because it’s not going to make sense on an item by item basis. [/quote]
