I was thinking the same thing. I deliver freaking pizzas and I stayed in a much nicer room than that in Panama City for 200.00 a night.
Rondo just stepped in it

Have been several times...great place to visit. I wouldn’t live there for all the tea in.. well.. you know.
We were going to take 6 adults and 4 grandkids to Disney in July. We were going to stay 4 nights at Animal Kingdom, with park passes and the meal plan it was 16K. Probably next year when we go it will be 17K. Prices are out of control at these parks or any venue for that matter.
WTH? That is crazy. You could almost buy a new Corolla for that amount. ****, just take them to the Cinncinatti Zoo and Kings Island. Save yourself about $16,500.
I pay $15 for Pacers bad seats (there really are no bad seats) about 20 times a year. It pays to not live in an area with so many big money people.
Also LOL at outrage culture.

Coronado is a moderate option. They have value, moderate, and deluxe.
Those rooms are in the Gran Destino tower section of Coronado, which was built last year. It is the top of the line for Disney moderate accommodations.
I stayed there last Fall. It was nice. I would imagine that 99% of this board would agree if they visited in person.
You won’t find many poor people staying there. But it isn’t exactly built to cater to million dollar athletes.
I would compare it to a decent downtown Hilton. Something like the Conrad in Indy. Feels more like a convention/business trip hotel than a vacation hotel, if that makes sense.
Damn! Evidently Disney really can put a price on happiness.
their reality isn’t reality for most though and that’s the issue.
yep, their human rights are top shelf
So stay in the motel 6, why don't you? I can't help it if Cinderella doesn't tuck you in every night.
He wasn't. The entire NBA has laughed and laughed at how awful their situation is.
It takes a middle class family at least a year to save up to afford one week there. But these guys are crying about spending a month there, voluntarily, while being paid millions to play a game.
I don’t know Rondo but I know another UK player that does and he is a little different but I think a good guy at heart. He came from a very humble beginning and I know where his house is. He lives very modestly for the amount of money he makes and doesn’t spend it foolishly from what I perceive. I see him riding his bike with his kids all the time and he is friendly enough...I just don’t think he likes to be bothered and I can understand why he would be guarded. In my opinion he was just stating a fact that for $400 a night one should expect a bit more. I would expect more even though I’d be splitting a room that costs $400 a night with three other buddies at the SEC tournament.
I agree. I DO NOT like rondo at ALL. after the joined the NBA I saw him in the St. Mathews mall. There were 3 younger kids there who were SO EXCITED to see him they walked up and asked politely( I was 6 feet away, heard it all) for his autograph. He started laughing and said “GET THE FU...K away from me you little punks, I don’t have time for bull sh...”
Right then I would never like that guy or his play. RIDICULOUS
I was gonna give you mucho thumbs up until I realized I had mis-read "tuck".
buy a big enough car with a nice AC, TVs, and enough space and make sure to pack pillows and blankets and just like that you have your own mobile hotel!
Disney does over charge for their rooms but under no circumstance is a room at Grand Destino towers even similar to a motel 6 room. I've stayed at both and there is as big a difference in those rooms as there is between my house and Rondo's house.
I’ve stayed all over Disney and in a few motel 6’s too. Trust me, it’s not all that different. Compare with a 5 star suite, you’ll see that the Disney room is closer to the motel 6 than the 5 star.
Canned sunshine never goes out of style
A lot has changed in Nashville in the last 10 years. Including the influx of over a quarter million people to the metropolitan area.
In fairness he has a point. Outside of a nice headboard and mirror on the wall it could easily be a motel 6 room. If I paid 400 for it I'd be livid.
Wasn't it Patrick Ewing that said the fans don't understand why we have to make the kind of money we do because they don't understand how much we spend.I thought that said it all
I hear you, but, I want them to have the memory with papaw and Mimi. All it means is my kids inherit less so at least I get some enjoyment out of it. Went to Disneyworld on opening day and a book of tickets was like 7 dollars in 71. We lived in Haines City, Florida at the time. of course minimum wage was 1 dollar a hour then.
Yeah, I used to be able to spend all day/night/the next day, etc waking around checking everything out and soaking in all the history. Now it's an absolute madhouse.
I hope you’re joking. Pretty pathetic people like you continue to worship these punks.
That kind of money in Central Florida? Good Lord. You could buy lower level season tickets to Rupp and still have money left over.
Million get a fixer upper starter home in LA, DC, SF and others. Dont know how folks do it.
I've stayed at a Motel 6 and they are trash. You're full of it.
And the proof is that Rondo deleted his tweet. He knows.
Then why did Rondo delete his tweet? He should stand by his statement and back it up, instead he runs with his tail between his legs.
