[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me feel very, very poor.[/quote]

I wonder how people justify the price of these hotels and wonder how much time people actually spend there awake.

We travel a lot but stay in Marriotts.  We spend our vacation money on dining and activities.  Others spend on the hotel.

It's been mentioned a couple of times by others, but just to note that I've stayed in a lot of these hotels -- on business. A lot of these people are on expense accounts. These hotels are nice, but I've also learned that most of them are really not worth spending my own money on. For example, I've stayed at the Scottsdale Princess that several have mentioned, and I don't even really remember it, other than it seemed like your generic nice hotel.  I pay for location if it's my own money.  Sometimes it's 5 star, and sometimes it's not. My "best" experiences were at amazing places -- the Hotel Hana Maui (a long time ago, I think it's changed hands and gone downhill since), for example.  We stayed at an amazing "glamping" place in Montana that cost as much as a five star hotel.

It's really sad to me that Acapulco has become so dangerous. The Princess there used to be amazing. Every room had its own private swimming pool, came with its own pink jeep, and the staff were ninjas.  You never saw them. There was a niche in the wall of your room where they'd put hot coffee and pastries in the morning (from the outside, you accessed it from a door on the inside).  They'd come float hibiscus in your pool every morning.  The view was amazing. Real old-world glamour. [/quote]

Ppl here -- just checked and it wasn't the Princess in Acapulco, it was L as Brisas. And it apparently is run down and practically deserted now. Very sad.[/quote]
