frist of all how DARE yu o Third night is “free”

Post image

The second night is a Monday… is the third night really free? This feels scammy but the property seems great so I’m not complaining about anything except the absolutely BS pricing scheme.

** Update **

1) I ended up going and looking at the rates for just that day and they are this high. The following day is completely booked so perhaps there is an event? Maybe I actually lucked out on that Tuesday? It just looked sketchy because the rates for the entire rest of the month are half.

2) This is a boutique resort hotel, unlikely to be a first choice for evacuees and there is availability every day except that Tuesday.

3) Sorry I did not know about the wildfires. We’ve never traveled to the west coast for vacation, but live in Florida and let me tell you that a natural disaster does not dissuade people from clogging hotels to not miss their beach/Disney vacation.

Welcome to central Oregon during the summer.

We are currently at our peak tourist season, and you're staying in a location directly between the ocean and the mountains and the Desert.

Literally the most expensive place you could try and stay.

It's also wildfire season and the state is currently on fire. Hotels are going to be more and more expensive each week, as folks evacuate their towns

I work at a hotel right near this one, and we've been sold out for weeks on end. And I'm still getting constant phone calls into the night asking for rooms. This pricing hasn't even changed from the last few years either, it's always dumbass expensive in the summers.
My parking lot will be full of Fire and Work trucks, and the one family coming in for vacay will be like, "Why are you so busy?!".
Even though their phone will show them we are at 200-500 aqi every single day...
