Hotel charging by the weight

Seems like a fast way to lose customers. Heavier customers may put more wear on the bed/carpet, but I imagine they also spend more money on room service and movies…seems like an odd thing to do.

If a hotel ever asked to weigh me to determine my room cost, I would immediately leave, and I’m not even overweight.

A little misleading. They are not charging by the pound. There is a regular room rate, and if your willing you can get a discounted rate if you choose the scale method.

Yeah, like heavy people don’t have a hard time already…

Good, hotels would be pretty cheap for me =p

this reminds me of the topic about airlines charging larger customers the price of two seats on a flight.

Maybe he should send the bill to McD’s?

61 cents a kilo? Sweet. :D I’d get in so cheap (H)

“this reminds me of the topic about airlines charging larger customers the price of two seats on a flight.”

That would be a bit different, unless the person is so large that their fatty rolls overflow into the neighboring rooms, or their weight causes the floor to collapse into a room below, heh.

it’s not much different if you think of the principle.. “charging larger individuals more than the average sized individual.”

I think the fat people should have to pay the people they sit next to on a plane, and maybe pass a bathing suit test at the pool, but I cant imagine obesity causing a night at a hotel to be any different.

Maybe if they had to accomodate their weight, special elevators, large toilet seats with balancing bars, and a huge breakfast buffet to be refilled constantly… then, maybe.

Actually, I will take my 58 euros worth. Whats that…about 90$. Pretty cheap when you figure most hotels charge 130-180$ per night these days (Business class hotels) at a minimum.
