Throwing darts at the wall when setting your hotel rates? Check out this one price-setting rule. One question I always ask hoteliers when reviewing their rates is: Is your hotel room rate less than what dinner costs in your destination? I worked with a hotel that had a $159 room rate.

Price accordingly. It's not the only rule, but it keeps your value in check.
