The Luxury of the RNC.....

[Sunburnt Indian]

Grandson is spending nights in his $1500 a night dump DC hotel. The RNC is picking up the tab. The nice DC hotels are commanding $4000 per night with a 4 night minimum.

Grandson is overseeing 7 teams in planning the Inauguration. He's hoping for the best ever. Any of you who watch please give me a grade.

A celebrity is supposed to sing. No one seems to know political leanings of ths very attractive celebrity.

With free tickets provided by grandson, his parents aren't about to lay down a mint for even a 4 night stay in a dump hotel.

Shortly after the inauguration, grandson and the RNC are to begin contract talks. Son-in-law tells me grandson isn't so sure he wants to continue on. Grandson has been a part of the RNC since graduating TCU with a degree in Political Science.

The whole inauguration thing wears me slick. Biggest waste of time and money there is. Trump should of done a little swearing in ceremony at the White House and sent that money to the hurricane victims or some other needy group.

Surely you are kidding, right? There is no way he's going to avoid being celebrated, his huge ego will not allow it.

Probably would be illegal to do that. You want them to Impeach him again? 🤣

@Sunburnt Indian

Tell your grandson to try to get his hands on one of those "inauguration" diet coke commemorative bottles. Those will be worth a small mint on Ebay in the near future.

This not even close to true. Go to Orbitz right now and put in Jan 17 - Jan 21. There are hundreds of rooms available in DC. You could stay in Tysons, VA and take a 30 minute metro in. Hotels are under $200 a night there. But to say hotels are $4000 a night is just not true.

Wow! You're right. When grandson first got inauguration tickets he couldn't give them away. Still can't. Grandson's parents checked on hotel stays. No way they would spend the kind of money they were quoted. It may be hoteliers thought too highly of the publics interest in our new president elect.

Grandson's hotel room was booked a while back.

You got a problem paying the tab?

This is true. I was merely providing a lost cost alternative. The rest of your information is not true at all. The hotels in DC proper are expensive but they are no where near $4000 a night. They are not even near $1500 a night. What is the 'dump' hotel he is staying in? Either way you should come the weather is supposed to be fabulous.

Thanks for the "orbits". I'll be sure to keep that in mind. 👍

When grandson offered free inauguration tickets just after the election, no one accepted. No one. His parents and friends ALL sited outrageous hotel costs. Not a single grandson offer was ever accepted. Obviously a "what the market will bear scenario" emerged. Grandson offered me no tickets. He knows me pretty well.

Anyone who's slept through a course in Arithmetic should catch on. The majority of the board's members gets it.

So you were lied to. You believed it and didn't do research for yourself. BTW you didn't reveal the 'dump' hotel he is staying in.

So a coupe of the very finest hotels in DC are charging for packages for the elite who could care less how much things cost. Yet there are hundreds if not thousands of hotel rooms available for reasonable prices for a major event and the OP says hotels are $4000 a night.

What is the 'dump' hotel?

While I'm not all that familiar with the hotels in DC I can say from our trips there I wasn't impressed with the lodging available without breaking thee bank.

As the board's majority well knows, it is not uncommon for hotels to set rates for an event. It is also common for hotels to adjust rates up or down when hotels get a measure of public interest. Anyone who's slept through a course in Arithmetic knows this. Just after the election and grandson's offer for free inauguration tickets daughter and son-in-law's research found DC hotels rates well out of their range.

There is nothing hard here. 2012Bearcat and the board's majority gets it.

I'll add: Grandson has a hotel room because: He lives in an "effiecientcy apt." A living room, one bedroom, one bath and kitchenette. DC is very high cost of living. Not suitable for entertaining. AOC lives in his apt building. Sometimes grandson walks to work 2 blocks with AOC who's office is in the same building as grandson office.

As we can all attest to when attending a OSU football game. Back when my son was playing the rates at the hotels almost doubled and had a two night minimum. We resorted to staying at the Holiday Inn in Guthrie just out of principle.
