Holiday Inn Express in Brooklyn’s Gowanus section jacked rates up to $ 400 following the 2012 superstorm.
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, a Brooklyn hotel gouged guests with Holiday Inn rooms at Ritz-Carlton prices, authorities said.
The Holiday Inn Express in Gowanus jacked up its rates from the $ 155-to-$ 177 range to more than $ 400 a night immediately after the storm that left thousands homeless or stranded, state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said.
The hotel owners recently paid $ 15,315 in restitution to 38 guests and a $ 25,000 penalty.
