Mmm... same answer to the question, why pay much more for a BMW or a Mercedes when a Toyota or a Ford will be perfectly fine?

I guess I am one of them. Love Luxury hotel stays during leisure trips, and worse now starting to like resorts also. But then, I also travel frequently for business and on these occasions, I will definitely book value-for-money hotels that's still comfortable and have decent to good service.
