Houston, Texas has been no stranger to destructive storms over the past several years, and the city went through it again in July 2024 when Hurricane Beryl left its mark.
And a Houston man named Malcolm took to TikTok to share his thoughts about an injustice that he couldn’t let go.
Malcolm told TikTok viewers that he was looking for a hotel room in Houston in the aftermath of the storm and saw that the DoubleTree hotel in the city’s Greenway Plaza was listed for a whopping $799 on Booking.com.
He double-checked the price on DoubleTree’s site to make sure it wasn’t a mistake and it was listed there for $783.
Malcolm was shocked and said, “That’s ridiculous. I legit thought I was tripping. I was like, ‘Maybe it’s a glitch?’ No, that was on the website, too. What? I know a hurricane just happened, but you gonna charge that much?”
Take a look at the video.
@malcolmdwaincarte The Double Tree lost their mind with this. #greenscreen #doubletreebyhilton #hotelroom #houston
