Comments on: [news] – US resort offers $219 room for $19 with a tent http://www.thecuriousmonkey.com/2009/08/09/219-room-for-19-cheap-hotel-rooms/ curiosity killed the cat. it's a good thing i'm NOT a cat Sat, 26 Jun 2010 01:51:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Darian http://www.thecuriousmonkey.com/2009/08/09/219-room-for-19-cheap-hotel-rooms/comment-page-1/#comment-4985 Darian Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:46:58 +0000 http://www.thecuriousmonkey.com/?p=178#comment-4985 Totally agree... their marketing team is high. It would cost them less to reduce the rates to about $50 per night and leave the amenities in place than to lower it to $19 and pay the staff to strip the room down temporarily on a per customer basis. Rough times in the economy or not... If I wanted to sleep in a tent with no toilet paper, I sure as hell wouldn't do so at a hotel. I'd actually just go camping in the woods.

Personally I don't travel for the accommodations, rather, I travel for the experience. And if I can stay 5 nights in a luxury hotel for $100 instead of $1000 I might have $900 extra to spend on the services this place would provide. It sounds genius. With the $900 I saved I think I'd be okay bringing my own ass wipe. seems to me that the “luxury” in this luxury resort isn’t in the rooms, it’s in everything else they offer.

I think the hotel may be profiting from publicity it has created by giving such a whacky deal. Talk about thinking out of the box!
