Hotels are a mess.
It doesn't matter that it says Hilton on it.
The Hilton in downtown oklahoma city has a blimpies like menu.
We don't travel on a schedule. Given the chance, we physically flip a coin when at a cross roads or y so advanced reservations are constricting.
We got tired of starting to look on-line for a room by noon to get one that night to find out the nearest chow was a waffle house. Have to be out at 11am. Pets are becoming the norm. Smokers smoked in the only room available.
We're a pressed and polished pair so dragging luggage to the third floor of an edgy redroof inn mostly sucked.
The last straw was the fairly recent habit of halfwits talking loudly in the halls while strolling to the elevator.
Punchline:
The unwashed and untamed and uncaring have driven us to carry our hotel on our back. The food is there, the clothes are hung in the closet, the a.c. doesn't rattle all night in a $200 room and no kids are tap dancing on our ceiling.
Not exactly an interesting reason. Just a reason.
I'd rather not have an rv.
I was driven to it.
