What would you pay on average for a hotel room? How expensive is too expensive?

I’m doing a report for a Guest Management Service class on "How Expensive is too Expensive?" in regards to hotel prices. What you pay on average for a hotel room? And what do you think certain age groups pay for hotels? Who’s more attracted to the expensive hotels and the cheap or medium priced hotels?

On average, I pay between $80-$100 for a moderate hotel room that offers free internet and breakfast. I will pay up to $250 for a hotel room in a prime location (such as major cities or on the beach). The time of year also effects the cost of a room. A hotel in Washington, D.C. can be $75.00 a night in March but $375 in October or April. I think younger hotel guests are more interested in finding the cheapest price. Older guests are willing (and able) to pay higher prices for a prime location in high season that offers amenities such as restaurants, spa services, gym, pool, etc. Families want a moderate price for a clean, safe hotel.

It depends a lot on where the hotel is, certain cities can get away with charging a lot more. For a suite in a top hotel in Venice (http://www.venice-italy-veneto.com/luxury-hotels-in-venice.html) you could pay over $3000 a night but for a similar hotel in Harare Zimbabwe you might only pay $150.
