I'll do you one better.

Attended a meeting in Chicago, and stayed at one of the fanciest hotels in the city (forgot which one now, but it's the one where Oprah lived in a penthouse on the top floor at the time, about 8 years ago).

When on my own dime, I spent the next day at THE nastiest hostel of all time in the same city. I did just fine, and saved my $ for Chicago's good dining
