I recently tried to plan a night out in “the city” and was looking for a hotel since I would like to have a few drinks. I can’t believe how stupid prices are.
A shitty motel is like $400 a night, so you would have to hire a cab already to drive you to a cheaper hotel like 15-20 minutes away.
Nicer hotels are going like $600-$800 a night.
How on earth does anyone afford a vacation for prices like that?

We normally do budget hotels which thankfully are far cheaper than that for where we go. We have to stay (or hire someone to drive our car followed by a taxi to take the driver on) whenever we go into the city since it’s a ~50 minute walk to our station mostly in the dark and in an area with bears.
For people in the city (or nearer stations, I guess), it’s a lot easier than for those of us who live further away.
