The Seville Motel, conveniently located on the rough and tumble section of Tonnelle Avenue, and where rooms rent for can $45 for three hours (call it the secretary special rate) is already getting walk-ins and calls about rooms for the Super Bowl (They don't advertise on social media and have no website). The cost for those rooms come Super Bowl weekend? Rooms will be $200-250, with a three-night minimum, said manager Ashok Panwala.
How's THAT for making some quick coin? We don't begrudge them. Hell all the hotels around here are doing this. Should some kind of Biblical miracle happens and the Lions make the Super Bowl Johnny's house is going to become a Motel 6.5 with all the Michiganders who'll flock out as if to see the image of Jesus on toast or the Virgin Mary in syrup. You better believe he'll make sure tributes are paid.
So, what kind of gouging are you finding or have you heard of dear readers? Anything really out there?Or perhaps you've chanced across someone who doesn't plan on upping the price of a burger from $9.95 to $16.95 at their restaurant.We'd sure love to hear about those places most.
