Creator's Key Takeaways
The first price you see is typically for the worst quality in that category, if you will.
Most amounts start with interior rooms. Usually a guaranteed as well. So, basically you're saying, 'Hey, I'm going to pay the cheapest amount for this category, but I have no say-so in where the room's located.'
You've got to make sure you're comparing apples to apples. You also need to see what's included in that price because sometimes you're including the gratuities, sometimes you're including all of the specialty restaurants.
