My usual hotel has increased the room cost by 19% for next year! I can't see how they can justify an increase of that size, have wages gone up 19% I doubt it! I have been staying there for a few yaers and over that time they have reduced staff wages and also reduced staff numbers! It's time to look elsewhere. By the way 19% equals 5 Bintangs a day, I know only $10AU per day but $140 all up for a 2 week stay!
