> Would you pay for Ritz Carlton out of your own pocket for a business trip?

Yes. I would and have. Your personal means and current state in life shouldn't be part of company policy.

Policies like this are simply terrible for everyone. Those who would spend trip over some unspoken convention and upset others without knowing. Those who would not spend are left with a worse experience for no reason. No one has a clue about what is or isn't allowed, so everyone suffers.

It's nonsense.
