[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I travel very frequently, and I look down on people who don't travel very often and must have "the best" when they do. A $1,000 room is in no way, shape, or form worth it.

A fool and her money are soon parted. 
There's a sucker born every minute. 
She knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

These are all phrases that apply to you. [/quote]

Nice try. We travel often, just with the kids.

I decided to go with the flow. I will do anything birthday girl chooses.

Everyone seems so hyper focused on the $1000 number. What if it were 300 vs a crummy 50 motel?

In my original post, I wanted to pay more and upgrade everyone, not just myself. The whole weekend is going to cost like 1-2k. I know not everyone can just throw money around. For us, 2k, 5k, it is all the same.[/quote]

People were fixated on your original number because it very much sounded like people were talking about a $300/night room and that just wasn't good enough for you because you just had to have the $1000/night room. $50 room vs. $300 room is a lot different in a lot of ways. At the end of the day, the room is just the place where you sleep. I'd personally rather sleep on the $300/night bed than the $50/night bed, but I have yet to ever see a bed that would be worth the $700 markup you're talking about.

People were understanding about not wanting to share a room. People were also understanding about not wanting to stay in a a crappy motel. Because you would not give examples of where you were actually considering going, most people were left to wonder either what was so special about the $1000 room or what kind of snob you were or both.[/quote]
