About Hotel Cost per Night
Dividing the full stay cost by nights gives the base nightly rate. Per-person figures divide that rate among occupants so a shared room can be fairly allocated. Quoting per-night and per-person rates lets a group compare hotels fairly instead of being misled by a big total.
