Is it just me, or do the prices at Hampton Inns seem to be higher than many of the specials at regular, full service Hilton's?</font>
An Wall St. Journal article a week or two described what you are seeing...luxury hotels priced cheaper than discounters. The reason is the big drop in business travel, compared to no drop in vacation travel.
