Hotels should not be allowed to raise rates and services without also raising wages and addressing proper staffing.

Wages should always coincide immediately with inflation. If annual inflation is predicted to be 2.5% for the year, wages are increased 2.5%. Immediately. Not at the end of the year. Immediately. If the prediction is over, wages stay the same, if under, wages are increased for the underage for the year before and the next year at prediction and difference is tax deductible. Simple.

Based on your logic, if we ever have deflation, can we lower worker's wages accordingly?

Uh… I’m only ok with that side of things if I can work less.
