Big Bucks For Hotel Rooms For Groundhog Day
(Punxsutawney, PA) — People are willing to pay top dollar for a hotel room in a famous Pennsylvania town on Groundhog Day. The travel website Trivago says room rates in Punxsutawney are currently more expensive than those in Houston for this weekend’s Super Bowl. Punxsutawney is the home of the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil. There’s a big ceremony there every year highlighting whether Phil saw his shadow. Trivago says it costs on average about 450 dollars for a one-night stay in Punxsutawney compared to 340 dollars a night for a room in Houston. After Phil’s prediction, the average room rate drops by than 300 bucks, while Houston room rates will remain high.
