I came across this article on CNN.com that mentioned something about hotels as hotel prices:
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TRAVEL/getaways/02/09/vegas.tourism/Is anyone else out there facing hotels that are selling rooms at dorm bed rates in their cities?
Yeah, I have seen this in Seattle, With online booking there is alot of downward pressure on hotels. I have seen room rates for small budget hotels sell twin double rooms(based on occupancy of four) cheaper than the local hostel rate for a ten bed dorm! The budget sector of the lodgeing industry is the most competitive, I think hostels can expect more of this competition in the future. Not to confuse matters but, I also think a well run Backpackers hostel has a superior product to a budget hotel.
