Saw it. I guess there is a disconnect between the rate charged and the room assigned in hotel management systems. I could fix that pretty quickly with a few queries.
- nl 16y agoYour comment is a little unclear, but it appears you think room rates are fixed. They're not at all - they vary pretty much the same way airline tickets do. Hotels are a bit less obvious about it because the often have display rates. (Varying rates is especially common in places like Vegas where there is usually a huge oversupply of rooms, but hotels make money from other things, ie, gambling)
- philwelch 16y agoIn Vegas in particular, hotel-casinos will comp you a room if you gamble enough--and interestingly, the EV on that gambling sometimes compares favorably to the cost of the room.
- euroclydon 16y agoI know they're not fixed, but it seems there is zero information conveyed from the purchasing system to the hotel management system, which conveys what was originally sold.
