                                    <p>When they checked rates online as Hurricane Harvey was strengthening and about to make landfall in Texas, a room with two queen beds was between $120 and $149 a night.</p>
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                
                                    <p>But when a KXAN TV crew from Austin showed up on Saturday to get a room at that same hotel—a Robstown, Texas Best Western Plus, 20 miles from Corpus Christi—the clerk at the front desk <a href="http://kxan.com/2017/08/28/kxan-price-gouging-investigation-leads-to-40-hotel-refunds/" target="_blank" title="">quoted a price nearly triple what the crew had seen online</a>: a staggering $321.89 a night, according to KXAN.</p>
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                
                                    <p>The TV crew cried foul, and pushed back against the price. Eventually, the clerk admitted the room rates were much higher than usual. “Weekends start at $149, sometimes we start at $189,” the clerk told KXAN. </p>
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                
                                    <p>“But, why is it so much?” KXAN reporter Wes Rapaport asked of the $321.89 charge. </p>

                                    <p>The next morning, the TV crew again confronted a hotel clerk. They got a clerk to confirm that room rates were normally around $119 a night—but they still couldn’t get an explanation for why rates had skyrocketed.</p>

And the clerk also confirmed that 18 other hotel guests paid the much higher rate of $289 before tax, just like the TV crew.</p>

                                    <p>While interviewing Attorney General Paxton on Sunday, the KXAN TV crew handed over the invoice the hotel had given them, which Paxton had his office start looking into.</p>

                                    <p>It only took three hours for Davis’ team to discover that 39 other Best Western Plus guests faced similar price gouging, according to KXAN, and the hotel promised the attorney general’s office it would refund guests the amount it charged them above normal rates.</p>
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                
                                    <p>Best Western Hotels &amp; Resorts told KXAN that it told its hotels not to price gouge, and was working to resolve the problem.</p>
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                
                                    <p>“In advance of the storm, we proactively advised hotels on prohibitions against price-gouging and communicated our position as a brand that compassion be exercised during this time of crisis,” Best Western spokeswoman Courtney McCurry told the TV station. “We take reports of price-gouging very seriously and immediately contacted the property in question when we learned of this report. The hotel advised they would be reimbursing guests on Aug. 28 all amounts charged in excess of their average daily rate for this time period.”</p>
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                
                                    <p>“Texans know right from wrong. This is an easy one: don’t take advantage of people who are vulnerable because they’re running away from a flood or affected by a hurricane,” Davis told KXAN.</p>

The system eventually weakened to a tropical storm, but hovered nearly stationary over the coast over the weekend. By Sunday, the Texas coastline was devastated — both from wind damage and flooding. The storm had dropped over 30 inches of rain in some areas by 4 a.m. Monday morning, according to The Weather Channel.

</div><div class="embed-media-details"><p class="media-leadtext">Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Corpus Christi, Texas, on Friday as a category 4. The system eventually weakened to a tropical storm, but hovered nearly stationary over the coast over the weekend. By Sunday, the Texas coastline was devastated — both from wind damage and flooding. The storm had dropped over 30 inches of rain in some areas by 4 a.m. Monday morning, according to The Weather Channel. Forecasts show the Houston and Galveston areas reaching rainfall totals of 50 inches before the system leaves the coast. <span class="photographer videographer"><strong>Ashley Jean Reese</strong></span><span class="credits">areese@islandpacket.com</span></p></div></div></div>
