OH MY GAWD. Can you edit that post and remove the info? What if the press should catch wind that she has sojourned in such a flop-house? I am utterly dismayed. What is going through our dear E's head??

Yes, that's where we stayed in the Amazing $399. Six Day Five Night Venice Package Including Air and Hotel. Actually, that has to be the best deal ever. For one thing, and this is an outrage now that I think of it, the four star dealie in Barcelona DOESN'T INCLUDE A GIANT BUFFET BREAKFAST DAILY! I'd much rather have a GIANT BUFFET BREAKFAST DAILY than an extra star, for heaven's sake. Best of course would be a place with no stars and compulsory morning gruel-eating. I realize this. I spit on luxury.

No, you got it wrong. Three or four months ago I did get a **** NYC hotel for $99/night, a true bargain, but that NYC hotel a couple of weeks ago.. well... Expedia.com gave it two stars. But they were Expedia.com's own rating system. I should have been suspicious -- $59.95 is clearly not enough to spend on a hotel in NYC. It was sort of fun, in a way, because there was a merry sense of collegiality among the guests, all of whom seem to have fallen for the Expedia.com rating. Much convivial eye-rolling and giggling in the elevators. It sure was a bargain, though. And the Starbucks down the block gave you a free scone when you bought your coffee if you mentioned the hotel. A gesture of sympathy, I believe.
