Hm?
Why do the safety/legal notices on the back of US hotel room doors always have vastly inflated room prices? This one reckons this room should be $300. Not in a million years. We paid $80, although that was a team discount rate

Maybe for insurance appraisal purposes, if the thing burns to the ground?

I've stayed in a few fancy schmancy hotels for conferences and group rates always hover around 80-90. I've always assumed the posted rates DO apply to non-group rate peoples.

Did you take the drugs-and-hookers option?

It's the maximum rate they charge when demand exceeds supply.

The $300 rate is for the rooms without the dead whore in the mattress.

I don't think I've ever been in a hotel that didn't have these wildly inflated prices on the door, must be some legal thing, maybe an insurance thing like clod said.

Makes you feel better about getting the room for less than the inflated price. Plus, it gives them a buffer so if they forget to change the signs for a couple of years as the actual prices go up, they are still charging less than the signs.
