Good grief. Where are you booking rooms? Manhattan? We were at the Boca Raton Resort (Hilton) a couple of weeks ago in a junior suite with Virtuoso perks for $229/night. Holiday Inn at a rack rate of $150/night. Where is that? I booked my brothers into a Hilton Garden Inn here in JAX a few months ago for $85/night just using website promos. No Fortune 50 stuff. Sometimes it is easier to get discounts when you're working on a small scale than when you're working on a large scale.

Just curious - in what areas do you book a lot of rooms? Robyn
