Oh I’ve seen less, my point was that JFK Hotels are comparable to BOS, and I know that the Hampton was the old short layover, but it’s not the $300/night that someone was talking about.

What people need to remember as well is the initial opening is made small for this reason. Then subsequent later bids will open the doors more. I think some people lose hope on new bases quickly based on initial opening, then 1 year later it’s a lot more pilots.
