Trump hotel in DC massively hikes prices for Biden inauguration dates

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump International Hotel in Washington DC has hiked its prices to over three times their usual rate ahead of president-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.

The hotel recently unblocked the dates after months of keeping 16-20 January 2021 unavailable to bookings, presumably in anticipation of Mr Trump’s inauguration.

The rooms initially opened at higher prices than usual, ranging from doubles to suites at $886 (£650) to $2,225 (£1,630).

However, the prices seem to have been hiked further, as the hotel's website now says a two-night minimum is required for guests visiting during the week of inauguration, with even the cheapest rooms priced at $2,225 a night for 19 and 20 January. On other days in January, the average room charge for the hotel is priced at $436.

I can't imagine any Biden supporter staying in that shithole. Furthermore I think Joe plans to keep the inauguration low key. He doesn't want a superspreader event.

1. I don't think many people in town for the inauguration will be staying there.

[Renew Deal]

2. It's probably meant to keep away the white supremacists.

It would look bad if they all stayed there.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. I Think So Too

Price the troublemakers away.

3. First of all, not many are coming and why would they

stay at that dump?

4. The Old Post Office, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is not a shithole.

It saddens me that the GSA leased it to Trump and it'll be interesting to see how he gets out of it.

It would be interesting to see their estimated future cash flow now that foreign interests do not need to rent blocks of rooms (never used) to curry favor with Trump.

[SMC22307]

20. Yep. They're hurting now and it's only going to get worse.

And it will end very messily - the Trump way.

5. This

inauguration will be very low key, President elect Biden has respect for those Americans who died from Covid.

Who would even want to stay in a place affiliated with tRump.

[TigressDem]

6. Like what DEM would stay there anyway?

[MadLinguist]

7. Good! because the only people willing to stay there would be Trumpers looking to cause shyte

so let them pay for the privilege of kissing that dumb fat ass

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Not the same as being paid that amount.

That property is radioactive for the Inaugural, slight as it may be.

Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump had each room bugged.

9. Someone please tweet that the Trump International Hotel

has a severe bed bug problem. Let's take every opportunity to crush his spirit to live.

[elleng]

10. I expect they'll be DISAPPOINTED!

[NightWatcher]

11. The Final Grift?

[lpbk2713]

12. People shouldn't have to pay that much extra for bed bugs.

And their kitchen has a history of health code violations.

[mucifer]

13. There will be a very low dem turnout because of Covid Lots of other hotels for us so he will only

be screwing over his supporters who are protesting if they are dumb enough to pay that kind of money and I bet some will.

[dsc]

14. Yeah Biden has specifically said that people should stay away and watch virtually

and thankfully my school will have a remote day that day so I get to watch the ceremony on line.

[GoCubsGo]

15. No self-respecting Democrat would stay in one of his dumps.

So, if he wants to fleece his cult suckers, have at it.

[former9thward]

18. Please name a hotel that does not raise prices for a major event.

They all do. Conventions, sports events, etc. Amazed that people do not know this.

[cwydro]

19. Every single hotel in DC is hiking rates.

Even for this week.

I checked earlier, huge markups, and many days completely unavailable already.
