Given the current environment there is no way I was give anyone $3k (or anything near that amount) for months. Yes if the property goes bust you can do a charge back but then you got all the BS hassle with the credit card company. My mum went through it all getting a refund from Virgin Atlantic...
Although we can see it from the hotels point of view, you have to ask yourself if it's really worth it. I don't think so.
Can we get a Wiki going with the different properties and what they are charging?
