Wasn't it part of the agreement with the government we would be
exempted from the 17% sales tax?

Right. On the other hand, there will be more than a few couples. Of
course, I'd much rather have a room for me and my GF, and so will many
others... But we are getting it for free. I think it is fair to lodge
two couples in a quadruple room, as the economic difference is not
negligible, or offer couples to pay extra for a room for themselves.

Ok, this sounds very decent - And it can be low enough for us not to
require to switch hotels midway (as the price jump in respect to the
smaller hotels was from $46 to $29 pppn, right?)
If we have Seminole at $36 or $30, I think we can stay there, much
more pleasantly.
