And on choice it runs exactly the other way from what you would expect.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Normally the higher price buys the longer list: more categories, more options, more to compare. In Kansas City it is the other way round.
• The Hotel Kansas City from 146 € offers 32 categories.
• The Raphael Hotel Kansas City from 291 € carries 11.
That is almost three times as many – at the hotel that costs half as much.
There is a catch, though: for the Hotel Kansas City two nights have to be counted. Work it through:
• Two nights: 2 × 146 = 292 € against 2 × 291 = 582 €.
• One night: 292 € against 291 € – practically the same sum.
So for a single room rate you get either eleven categories or two nights at a hotel with thirty-two.
Our advice: if you are staying two nights anyway, the arithmetic is unambiguous. If you only need one night, do not compare the price but the location – that is what decides then.
