None it’s this is remotely true of the vast majority of hotels. I stay in hotels 30 to 40 nights a year and, yea, just no. Most of it’s the opposite. Oh this room is booked, here is a nicer room for the same cost. Oh we have plenty of rooms, here is a huge discount. A mini fridge, cool. Place to put your left overs. Very few have in room anymore, unless it’s like a Vegas resort. And even most of them don’t any more. And cost wise, your still high. I stay in Orange county near Laguna Beach multiple times a year. The last place I stayed was 155 a night, for a nice room 20 minutes from the beach. They upgraded me to a double room suite the last 2 nights for free because the toilet stuffed up. I stay in Montana regularly and the place there is 260 a night, but it a King suite with a hot tub in the room. So, worth it. Yea, there are times I slum it and pay 40 or 50 a night, and it isn’t great, but on average I think I pay around 125 a night in almost every state in the West. Hell last year I spent a week in Atlanta and it was 85 a night. Great place too.

Not to mention that AirBnB doesn’t give me “points” to stay nights for free. So if you travel for work especially you basically squander your money away. AirBnB only makes sense if you’re a group of people and even then my last trip with them ended up being one where I regretted just not paying for me and my friends to stay in individual hotel rooms because it would have been cheaper and more convenient for parking and amenities.

You get that treatment because of that. Us plebs who go once or twice a year don’t get treated like that, lol. I used to fly a shit ton, there is a difference.

  Bullshit. I don’t stay in the same hotels, brands, etc.

    oh, okay buddy. You go on 40 different trips, but don’t duplicate any of the brands. Sure.

    All right also it’s not necessarily 40 different trips. It could be anywhere from 15 to 20 different trips. I’ll sometimes go on 10-day multi-state trips where I’m staying in different hotels every single night or I’ll stay at a campground one night or hit a hotel another night depending on what I’m looking for and what time of year it is. I may go on a single trip where I’m staying in a hotel for 3 to 4 nights or I may just be going overnight. It all varies.

    Rarely. I do stay in some of the same, but you would be surprised how many hotels there are. When you shop for price and features the brand doesn’t matter. Also I rarely book through the hotel, almost exclusively online so they don’t know who I am until I show up.
