Mar-a-Lago doesn’t say how much it charges non-government guests — it is definitely possible they pay more! — PolitiTweet.org

@Fahrenthold Is $396.15 the government discounted rate?

In Bedminster, $17K/month is a lot higher than the going rate in the area. At Mar-a-Lago, $396.15 is more than triple the government’s per-diem spending limit on hotels in the area, which was $121 in May and June. (Trump Org says the rates are “at cost,” but hasn’t elaborated) — PolitiTweet.org

It does indicate their operating costs are unusually high. Hotel experts told us that the actual cost of renting out a room (including housekeeping, tiny shampoo bottles, etc) should be between $12 and $50/night. — PolitiTweet.org

@Fahrenthold "at cost" suggests they're *gasp* not very good at managing costs
