Point of order.
One can go onto Priceline and often book the Westin, among many other fine hotels, cheaper than rack rate at some Extended Stay locations.
I've stayed at my fair share of 4.5 star locations, not to mention the occasional 5 star, for under $100.
Having money and liking the finer things does not mean one has to be foolish with how they spend it. I see no value in paying $300/night for a hotel if I can get the same hotel or the equivalent for under $100.

You can't walk into ANY 5 star hotel and say I know your room is $$$$ per night but I will only be staying 12hrs so I want to pay $$.. this wont happen.
The LOWBALLrs are trying to say that they can divide things based on usage/need. Like going to a restaurant and saying ok I am not that hungry I want the #12 but only eating half so therefore want to pay 50% of bill
You are at $200/hr are you ok seeing gents for $100 for 30M because, this is what you are supporting.
And further, this is not about RATE/DONATIONS this is about LOWBALLr's and my point is if you look at a members F*CKCHART and the average under $300/hr these will be your problematic clients always. HIGHROLLrs behave in a different manner. The LOWBALLr have you confused that we are talking about rates. We are taking about the type of people that stay at a 5 STAR hotel vs a BUDGET Motel (very different) so if you plan to entertain the LOWBALLr's all I am saying is not to bitch about their behavior.
Discount yourself as much as you want or have to but, a HIGHROLLr well respect and treat you better than the LOWBALLrs that bitch/whine/complain remember, you make the rules and you decide what you will put up with and who you will support.. I can care less if you choose to run with this group, more power to you.
