Most of the time When I am at a Hotel for FUN it is for a SciFI con. The Con is there the only reason I am in the Room is to Crash!
If there due to work. I am there ONLY to sleep! Or else I would not be in the Hotel. That is Boring!
@mycya4me Not a Con man here and probably too old to get the young people lingo, but I had always thought crashing and sleeping were the same thing. Is the difference just whether you had a little beer & ramen or wine & steak just before falling into unconsciousness?
I have very little experience staying at hotels. The best experience was The Royal Plaza on Scotts in Singapore. Beautiful hotel with great rooms and a famous buffet that was free because I was staying for two weeks.
Next I would say was Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego CA. Great all around and beautiful surroundings. Others were a nice convention center and hotel in Orlando and the Hilton at the airport. None were disappointing in the least.
@BioBill 1000% with you on this statement. Very often for the two of us (Mrs. H. & I) we’re up & going by 8am & often don’t get back to the room before 10pm. Renting a bed & a shower for $150+ per night is borderline crazy in my opinion.
For us staying at a hotel is borderline stupid. Much of our vacation travel is multi-generational where renting through a service like VRBO to get a 3-5 bedroom home where we can gather as a family is really the only way to go. Can save big bucks and not only on a place to stay but for food as well. We do dine out but also cook family meals and it’s nice to get up and just walk to the kitchen for breakfast.
If you have conferences for pleasure or work - sure, hotels have their place - but not so much for us.
How many stars? And, where is it?
All these factors matter. A 1 star hotel in the middle of projects is very different from a 5 star hotel on the beach.
“Fun sometimes”?
Under your legal names?
Flock Safety knows…
It depends on if I am there on Pleasure or Work,

@tweezak I wonder which Orlando hotel you stayed in? Also the one in MCO is a Hyatt, not a Hilton (unless you meant something else?)
I’m leaving a Hilton now after being here since Monday. I only stay at hotels for work. Otherwise it’s hostels.
Expensive for what you get.

Always a fun adventure for me!
