Denvers 15% Bed Tax!

I just made my reservation for lodging at the Adams Mark Hotel in Denver. I’m headed to the Search Engine Workshops next week. SEW worked out a nice little group discount. I guess the rooms are normally $189 per night (really?!), and I get two nights at $139 each which comes to $278 (I feel like they should throw in a massage for that much money!).

So, when the rez lady is telling me the summary details she says, “…and we will be holding your credit card for $319.28…) I interrupted, “I thought you said $139 per night?” She said, “Yes, but there is a 15% bed tax in Denver.”

That is another $40, just for tax, to stay two nights in a Denver hotel! Where is the justice? What mafia gang is running the show in Denver? I could stay two miles away at the Motel 6 for $40 a night and get the rest of the HeroScape action figures for my son with the difference. Hmmmm…
