I noticed even East Bay hotels jumped 35% or more January 1st. In 2012, I stayed at the Fisherman's Wharf Hilton for $90 per night. It is weird to me that it hasn't been that long since we emerged from the recession, the economy is pretty flat, prices are stagnate, but hotel rates are skyrocketing. Also in 2012 I sometimes stayed out at the Double Tree The Club in Pleasanton for $90 per night. I haven't seen rates under $280 in 2016. What is going on?
