I have done a search on the forums about this but my question is slightly different ...
I am planning to ask for a rate increase, mainly because of rise in hotels costs, which I have so far managed to absorb but not any longer. Is it "appropriate" to ask the agent for an increase but state that I would like the increase to come from their margin.
In the past, I have asked for an increase but didn't care if the client or the agent made up the rise.
This isn't a situation where I will walk if I don't get it, like I have done in the past, but would like the agent to meet the rate increase.
I am on a weeks’ notice so hotels are my only choice (staying in a budget hotel as well to keep costs down) so don't fancy renting out.
For some reason I keep thinking it is rude to ask the agent to give the increase from his margins, no idea what their margin is, maybe I should ask beforehand? (is this really any of my business, what their rate is)
