That's highway robbery! Should be illegal! Doubling, even tripling rates is common practice, but raising rates by 5 - 7 times is straight up Price Gouging!😡😡😡

I'm not aware of any extorted rate increases by the JW Marriott. It's likely standard event pricing.

TripAdvisor is really good for checking reviews and you can search for hotels by how close they are to the venue.

The JW Marriott's pricing strategy is not extortion, it's a business decision to capitalize on high demand. Charging more for a popular event is standard practice.

Seriously, it is pretty ridiculous.

It’s like that everywhere. I am going with a group of girls and it is just outrageous. I have never in my life spent so much on a hotel room. One benefit for us is the Canadian dollar is lower than the American dollar. That is the only benefit. It’s shocking.

I’m not a great traveler to begin with & finding a decent place to stay that I can afford always gives me the most anxiety

I hear the Canadian dispensaries have something for that though 😏
