A year ago (2018) I paid $350 a night for Hampton Inn in Cape Cod. There were cheaper, non-chain hotels but I felt that with those, you don’t quite know what to expect. Was it worth it? It was a lot for what is an average chain hotel, and it did include breakfast, but if you wanted Cape Cod in the middle of August, that’s what it was. There are more expensive hotels there, more exclusive ones, but I wanted this location and again, I wanted to know what to expect.
About 15 years ago I stayed at the Fairmont in San Francisco for about $169 a night. It was incredibly and an incredible value. The rooms were gorgeous, marble, antiques, the lobby was a tourist attraction, it was so gorgeous. Definitely worth 169 at the time. It was a “bed and breakfast” deal. That was a good price even then, and cheaper than an average hotel at Fisherman’s Wharf at the time.
