My favorite [used to be] hotel Colonial a little time ago was $8 per night. After influx of baby-boomers and other tourists they charge now $40!! Tried to charge even $50 at some point!

Greed. No more business with them.

the price of other things goes up too....not every price rise is to do with greed - you seem to have a hang up about it

Default make a reservation

monterey hotel i think they will take a fifteen dollar bill. good rooms safe clean,, coffee included and a good restaurant...of course no n.y.times..not top shelf but you can pay 50 across the street. i liked the quietness of the back rooms. kind of hospital quiet.
