Make a big deal of $500 a night, why don’t you? Except when the Obamas lodging runs in the thousands a night.

Yes, so biased. They have to mention that in the title.

$500 a night is actually not that bad for a luxury hotel in one of the most expensive cities in the country.

Although I might be wrong. Because I don’t stay in them. LOL!

By advertising $500 a night ensures the place will be full in a matter of hours. $500 a night for DC is a deal.

$500 per night is reasonable for nice digs, not out of line at all. I have friends and family who pay over $1000 per night for nice places. Try renting a luxury home, it'll set you back far more than that. An acquaintance regularly does that to house several couples while having parties near tourist venues. $500 is not much these days in comparison.

Obviously the staff and a couple frineds like Guiliani.

$500/night is probably competitive for that area.
