Great, let's get started! , you're up first.

First, please rank the rooms from your favourite to your least-favourite
(if there were no other considerations, and if they all cost the same):

Thanks! For any given room except for your favourite,
there should be some amount of extra cash
that would make you equally happy between having:

[the less-favourite room] + some extra cash each month

and having

[your favourite room] with no extra cash.

For your second-favourite room,
how much extra cash would you need to feel equally-good
as getting your favourite room with no extra cash?

SECOND-FAVOURITE ROOM
+ $ per month = + $0 per month.

And finally, for your third-favourite room,
how much cash would you need to get to feel equally-good
as getting your favourite room with no extra cash?

(bonus should be higher than bonus chosen for second-favourite room)

THIRD-FAVOURITE ROOM
+ $ per month = + $0 per month.
