Well,jov michael the first pe i went they were like you said apologetic. And admitted theyd overcharged people. Other hotels i went to the guests before i went to the front desk. I asked them you know, what they had paid and a lot were twice the usual rate. Whether a mistake or not, its still against the law to do that.

I passed them out the penal code to let them know they need to inform their staff. Some were a little suspicious. Even if it was a computer fluke we shouldnt be charging the same rate youd pay for a hotel in downtown San Francisco, you know, something is a little suspicious there when theyre charging that much. Only one did i inform authorities about, who didnt seem to be very sympathetic to the issue. The law, as i understand it is, during an emergency or disaster youre not allowed to up rates more than 10 . Is that correct . Correct. Than that. For me, we wouldnt enforce anything, but i contacted the city authorities and they were very responsive to make sure that that wasnt happening. Joey, thanks for joining us.
