It's not just Marriotts, it's ALL hotels!
Marriotts, Hyatts, Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, even Super 8 and Motel 6!!!!

Clark Howard, the consumer guru in Atlanta (http://www.clarkhoward.com) was talking about this the other day. I thnk he said something like hotel rates have gone up 50% since 1991.

I find it mostly impossible to get a good clean hotel room for a decent price nowadays. If you want to stay in a nice place in any city, you're talking about $200 easy and if you want some luxury, $300 plus!!!!

Is it me, or is it ludicrous to pay so much just for a place that you're going to sleep and not much else!

If you go to a resort to hand out, maybe so, but if you're passing through on business or if you have a busy vacation, I'd rather spend the money on ACTUALLY DOING THINGS, not for a room I'm hardly ever in!!!!!
