If you’re a party of 4 or fewer and are only staying for a couple of nights, a hotel with breakfast included is less of a hassle. Chain hotels also have a minimum baseline of quality so you at least have some expectation of consistency anywhere you go.

Unless the point of your travel is the accommodation itself, you’ll likely only be in there for less than 12 hours a day, so all you really need is a secure room with a clean bed and bathroom.
