To: bt-99; battlecry
Biden's London stay provides a breakdown (of sorts).

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.

I posted the above on the other thread.

Freeper battlecry made this comment (post 28):

"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"?
