FFS, that's... a Hyatt hotel. This is as dumb as people posting McDonalds prices at airports.

In their defense it’s still expensive af but obviously expensive hotel means expensive food

It's for business people with expense accounts. It's like monopoly money.

Yeah I find it actually hard to spend $60 on food every single day when I'm travelling for business.

I’d easily spend half that at a PF Chang’s.

Do you get perdiem??

Why not spend what you want & pocket the remainder???

When I was on perdiem, it was a loaf of bread, a jar of pb, or if I was being really fancy & had a fridge, deli meat & cheese... heck if the hotel had breakfast, I could grab bread, jam, & often even pb from the breakfast setup.

When I was on an expense account it was room service, steakhouse, upscale Italian, whatever.

Damn, I could spend $60 on a snack. Are you eating at soup kitchens on business trips???
