So the hotel industry's plan revolves solely around more legislation and regulation?

How about competing by innovating and providing the consumer with a better or improved experience?

Does the industry really believe that theres nothing they can do to improve on the consumer experience? It feels like its changed very little if at all over the years.

How about stop charging $15.00 a day for internet. It's 2017 charging for internet like charging for power in the room.

How about getting rid of inflexible checkin/checkout times?

How about lobbying local governments to reduce the exorbitant double digit taxes and fees consumers pay on hotels stays instead.[1]

Example tax rates:

18.27% New York City

17.76% Nashville

17% Houston and Indianapolis

16.75% San Antonio, TX and Columbus, OH
