Midland Texas Hotels--Why so Expensive?

I've been traveling to Midland Texas every couple months for business and am always shocked how high the rates are for hotels that, relatively speaking, are in the middle of Nowhere. Your basic Fairfield or Hampton Inn (there really are no upscale properties that I've found) runs $300 per night when you factor in taxes. This seems inexplicable to me. Can anyone shed light on this?
