    When the hotel costs you your freedom and still comes with slavery

    Isn’t that a screengrab from one of the muppets films?

      Yeah. It’s from Muppets: most wanted, I believe

  I feel like someone my age wrote this because hotels are not around $100 anymore. Last concert i went to that was sufficiently far away to justify getting a room for the night, said room was over $200, tiny, and literally the cheapest in the building.

    maybe in urban areas, but rural hotels cab easily will be $90 for a cheap one.

      i feel weird. a few years ago i got a room for like 150 in a hcol area, downtown, on a holiday, during a festival, within walking distance of the festival, and i kind of felt like i was robbing the place. they could have charged twice that and gotten away with it.

    It really depends. Holiday Inn Express can run close to 115-125 depending on location and nearby events. And there are certainly a lot of hotels under 100.

    But if you’re anywhere near a decent metro under 100 is basically non-existent

    Wow, that is an awful price for something like that, maybe it was adjusted for the concert? Check if booking for a longer period actually makes it cheaper

    Depends where and when. Wife and I hit up the Niagara Falls casinos in January and rooms are cheap and give you a lot of freebies

    Hotwire is still pretty good and you can sometimes keep it around $100. You may have also been dealing with higher pricing due to an event in the area. But you’re also right that everything is more expensive.

  When the hotel is a hostel:

    I don’t know about that.

    More like most of them have giant backpacks, lots of tourists, and one really huge creep that wants to sell your liver.

      Really depends on the hostel

      Some are like “it’s 10pm, so better shut the fuck up” and others be like “it’s 1:30, the night is just starting - let’s pump up the volume!”

      But more often than not, it’s the more chill kind. Although there are still party hostels out there.
      By now I’m probably also too old for that and appreciate a few hours of good sleep.

      I exaggerate a little, but the socializing was the best part of the hostels I stayed at. Built-in interesting people to meet. I miss traveling. :(

  as someone who has worked in both kinds of hotels: can confirm, below $100 and the usual mixture of drug addicts, prostitutes, and general “people bringing fucking issues” come out of the woodwork.

    That’s the same psychological effect like 9.95 for a product versus 10.00 I guess.

    Please go watch Twin Peaks. It’s one of the best TV shows ever!

    • rabber@lemmy.ca ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It’s THE best TV show ever. I can’t imagine what my life would look like had it never existed. I basically moved to the pnw solely because of this show lol

      Seen Twin Peaks, watched it through twice over the years. Nickelback singer did not have a cameo appearance.
