Rodeo-goers say they were overchaged between $30 and $100

Hotels accused of overcharging guests during the National High School Finals Rodeo may have skirted policies of their franchises, according to a story in the Farmington Daily Times.

Policies on rates at two hotels people complained about — Days Inn, of Wyndham Hotel Group, and Rodeway Inn, of Choice Hotels International, Inc. — prohibit rate hikes after a reservation has been confirmed, officials for those franchises said.

About 1,500 competitors and their families attended the rodeo in Farmington July 20-26. The Daily Times said some10,000 extra people  were in  San Juan County for the event.
