If only that was to translate to cheaper hotel room prices in the US. Currently they are sky high.

Tell me about it. I remember being able to snag a nice room at a Courtyard/Hampton caliber of hotel for like $100 in 2016-18 timeframe. Based on https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/2016?amount=100 I would expect that to cost about $135 now if adjusting only for (hyper)inflation. It instead tends to cost something like $175-225/night. WTAF.

Trump has been devaluing the dollar quite rapidly. Give it time. The US will become a like developing nation in no time.
