String comment = 'Why is accommodation so expensive in Europe? Flight tickets can be mad cheap, but one night stay at a shitty room in some random town during low-season will cost you at least 30 dollars
The only reasonable prices are those for shitty hostels.. where you share a room with 16 other people';

Americans visiting after COVID, they flooded in and kept paying higher prices by tipping. Now everyone expects higher prices.';

That's expensive? Hotels in my midsized midwest city are running $400 per night for a fucking Days Inn. I have to go to Chicago for a weekend, it is $600 per night.';

That's crazy
When I travel I just want to rent a bed, a power outlet and bathroom for 8 hours, no more than that. 10 dollars a night should do it';
'>>2657746
Hostel prices should be as follows
>2-5 quid
Bunk style bedding, kept up shower room with private door, decent commons room
>5-8
Privacy curtain or door on your bedding, private shower, bar in the commons room, breakfast included or for a 1-2 euro
>8-10
proper bed+privacy door+private shower+towel included+shampoo+breakfast
>10+
Best be close to a hotel or I might as well rent
The worst part is you can't even haggle anymore for cheaper rates, I'm looking at holiday in Japan with my mates and can't even find anything below 30 a night for Roppongi. That's insane.';

Where? On the beach front? I stay at hotels all the time in the Midwest. They’re like $120. More on the weekend. That includes breakfast usually. Or if in a tourist area $200-$250. Maybe $300 if it’s a holiday. $600 if it’s a Saturday at the great wolf lodge';
'>>2657805
Meant to say $600 for a great wolf lodge on a Saturday during a busy season. Otherwise it’s less than $400 and still overpriced. $300-$400 is what beach front and lake front hotels cost in the summer on a weekend';
'>>2657746
Prices in the US are very inflated but this post is bullshit';
'>>2657742
Because real estate is stupidly fucking expensive and consequently rent is stupidly fucking expensive. And if you're running tourist lodging with all the associated extra cost and effort, you want to earn more than you'd do from renting out to long-term tenants. This really isn't rocket science.';
'>>2657742
What the hell are you complaining about? 30 dollars per night is spare change.';
'$30 is fucking cheap...';
