The skyrocketing hotel prices are largely due to many factors. As we all know, the Ghanaian economy is not as stable as it used to be, and with the cedi depreciating against the dollar, hotel services become costly. Hotels also pricing their services in dollars does not help matters. However, it also depends on the hotel you patronise. There are many inexpensive hotels that everyday people can afford.
