The first question should be - do you believe there's been a devaluation? My answer is no, making your question moot.

But stay in
any high-end or many/most mid-range hotels - Starwood, Hyatt, Hilton, Fairmont, or pretty much any boutique hotel - an you'll have to pay. It's an industry-wide issue - the cheap hotels give it away, while the expensive hotels make you pay. So by your argument, all those other prograns are just as absurd.
