Should you pay extra for a room with a view?
Luxury is not what you buy. It is what you actually use.
A room with a view sounds like an obvious upgrade.
But is it?
The hidden mechanism is usage frequency.
Travelers often pay for experiences they imagine having rather than experiences they actually have.
If you spend all day exploring a city, the view may become an expensive photograph you rarely enjoy.
People often compare hotel rooms by features.
The better comparison is between the life you imagine and the life you actually live while traveling.
