HOW TO ESCAPE THE PRISON OF PRICE COMPARISON.
Last week, I did a shameful thing. I made reservations using booking.com. Saved $1200 for the exact same stay, on the exact same block, with my PREFERRED hotel brand. As a consumer, you can give me a proverbial high five. As the co-host of an event at the hotel that REFUSED to come down on
