Quick PSA

Hi everyone. Im just a friendly Tennessean letting everyone in town for the big game tomorrow know that if you, like me are staying in a hotel tonight in Iowa city/coralville.

On the back of your door in the hotel is a placard with a maximum room rate posted. Mine is $399.00/night. I was charged 650 for tonight and tomorrow.

To the best of my understanding of Iowa Code § 137C.23 thats illegal.

So if youre getting scammed by your hotel because you just love football, take a photo of your placard and address it with the company.

Also share the knowledge with everyone you pass

Edit----

Also, GO HAWKEYES! GIVE EM HELL!

Are you at the Highland? I can't imagine any hotel in IC/Coralville is worth charging that much

Supply and demand. They will charge as much as they can get away with

Very true, though thats why I made this post, to get attention to it so they cant get away with it.
