Which hotels? Where?

But I agree with other posters - low rates means more overhead which while it may translate to higher occupancy, can lead to higher losses. I'm not sure why anyone would make the leap to discrimination though - ultra low rates in this current environment likely only attracts hookers and people having affairs.

Nobody should be staying in a hotel or traveling unless they absolutely have to do so.
