Biden's London stay
Biden's $459,388.65 Hotel Bill
Due to obvious security concerns, such contracts are not open to the competitive bidding normally required on government contracts. The accompanying document justifying the "sole source" contract notes that the vice president's group required "approximately 136 hotel rooms for 893 room nights." Based on these figures and the total contract price, each hotel room at the five star hotel cost the U.S. government about $500 per night.

"My understanding is that when these people travel, we have to pick up the tab for the whole floor the bat$hit crazy dumba$$ is staying as well as the complete floors above and below. Regardless of whether anybody needs the rooms or not. They want a buffer and we pay for it."
I think he may be correct---136 rooms, but why "893 room nights"?
