You might want to reconsider the perspective on this. We don’t bat an eye at $200+ a night hotels but for many that is a significant financial burden. The location might be to accommodate family members/ friends who otherwise would be priced out?

Pretty sure OP is saying it’s a wedding she’s going to with her SO. Even tho they could use points and stay elsewhere, SO went ahead and booked there

Or were all hotels sold out and it was a last-minute booking? I stayed at the Knights Inn once due to lack of availability. It happens...

OP- that’s your wedding hotel? I’m sorry

Yea I definitely would choose something $150 or less a night. Most of my family would even have trouble with $150.

Haha yes, boyfriend’s coworker’s wedding.

Oh, I’m sure it was chosen to accommodate those who may not be able to afford more, which I understand. Funny though as groom’s brother mentioned in his speech last night that there was a murder here last year...

I was saying exactly what @pwc 2 was saying

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
