The maximum room rate on the door is the maximum amount a hotel can charge you if you damage the room to where they can't rent the room - so if you shatter the window & the room is uninhabitable for 3 days as it's fixed they can charge you $600 for compensation of loss business (on top of the actual damages). You'll never pay that number normally.
Thank you for that information! I had no idea. I assumed that it was a maximum allowable rate for a room before it became price gouging (such as in the event of a mass evacuation...or a football game). The room we're in right now has a maximum rate of $1,500, which is about 15x what we paid for it. But what you're saying makes perfect sense. Thanks for watching, and for your comment!
Very nice hotel, 504RoadTrips!! In my area, there used to be a Holiday Inn, but that was demolished in 2010-2011. You should check out the Holiday Inn a Express in Ocean City, Maryland when you get the chance.
