That's the problem right there. You talk about high-end places but then you start talking price.
Expensive is not the same as high-end. I've paid $400+/night plenty of times in NYC for an ordinary, 2.5 to 3 star hotel. The first time or two I was disappointed-- but that came from my unwarranted expectations. "For this kind of money I should be treated like a king!" Wrong. The fact that the same price will buy a posh suite in some other city is irrelevant.
