ive stayed in hyatt place that was sold out due to competition etc for kids

as noted many booked rooms did not pay what is 'currently' being charged

basically all chains can be IMHO very overpriced, because of name recognition

The group rate for the Sheraton, which wasn't even that close to the venue, was about $50 more per night than the group rate for the Four Seasons. We stayed at the Four Seasons, which was about a mile away farther away, and used the free (except for tips) car service for the entire competition.

revenue is not just from room rate at one hotel
