Not in a tech hub. They also have much better food, service and s significantly more modern. I’d take them over a Ritz any day, even if they were the same price.
Well, if by "tech hub" you mean the Bay Area, there are hundreds of options under $150 right now. I assume there are other places that meet the definition of "tech hub" in the US, and I'm certain they also have many hotels under $150.
