Always was. It is so bad I wonder if WH's had a hand in it? It is real bad; I got the news from my Paris peeps a week ago and didn't say shit because I wasn't there, and i don't even trust their emails... who knows? We still live in Clown world until proven otherwise.
It's pretty easy to check. All you have to do is to check for hotels in Paris to verify.
My point is how do 'you and I' who are not there really know what da fk is going on... simple answer is that 'we don't', until we do. This planet is weird, and I do occupy negative space where others wont; I do not like it but in the end I'm a real-estate guy.
Yes, with all the technology, you cannot tell for sure. If I have people I know there, I call them and ask. Otherwise, I check their hotel rates and also their event rates to see if the prices have dropped.
I travel so I tend to check stuff like that anyway. Not going to places with big crowds but you can get an idea when those prices drop.
My business is associated with hotels, in Paris especially. They are indeed slashing their rates - I can confirm through personal experience. Whereas a year ago, in anticipation of the “deluge” of customers, they jacked up the rates. Now they’re dealing with empty rooms.
