More $$ does not = Great Amenities

"I was needing to do the wonderful 22 hour business trip from Sacramento to LA. I thought since it was close to my Birthday and business was going well to treat myself to staying at an upscale hotel in Long Beach. The cost was about 35% more than what i was use to, but I was shocked at the result. Everything was not included. No free internet, newspaper, or even a bottle of water. They even wanted to charge for use of what are normally free TV channels. I was bored out of my mind that night since I did not want to spend more money. My advice is read the details and ratings of a hotel, more money does not always mean better amenities."
