I will stay in crappy hotels, I don't care. My wife, not so much.
I try not to spoil my kids and I feel like we live reasonably (live in a 2,600 sq foot house, 4/2, drive Hondas) but we do travel well. We're better off financially than the kids know which is how I like it.
So we go to this soccer tournament recently out of town and we're staying at a Hampton Inn off the interstate. We are pulling up and my son in earnest says "we've never stayed in one these motels you see by the interstate, will we get our own bathroom and will it be safe?"
I immediately called my wife and told him she's ruining our child

What city are you in?
Guessing you aren't Ambassador. Guessing they didn't bring in any fancy statues. Guessing they didn't upgrade you to the penthouse presidential suite with the wraparound balcony and multiple bedrooms. Guessing they didn't have a basket of goodies and drinks in the room with a handwritten note from the GM upon your arrival. Guessing they didn't add a record player with a bunch of records from the genres you like thanks to your ambassador informing them. Guessing they didn't waive the $55 breakfast buffet for you. Guessing they didn't offer the house car and chauffeur to you 24 hours/day.
Some people have rough lives.
I haven't been able to stay in a hotel for over three months since I can't travel, so my Ambassador status may be in jeopardy for 2025.
I can't do it. In the summer of 2021, I drove from Utah to California with the girl I had just broken up with. I told her that we would stop and stay the night whenever she got tired. She started to get tired in Vegas but told me to keep driving for another hour. Vegas to SoCal is pretty desolate. When we finally came across a town, the best hotel they had were average hotels: Fairfield, Hampton, etc. No problem. But, since it was 1 a.m. and since they had some event, everything was booked. We were able to find a place that had a late cancel for $200, and it was a Motel 6 type of place. It was awful. The room was in the basement. They really a floor of rooms that were partially underground. They had a fly in the room buzzing around when we got there. I took a shower once I got there and felt dirtier after the shower than when I got there.

Which brings up a good question - did the hospital send a CNA out to T.J. Maxx to get you some "art" for your extended stay?
No, but they did try putting another person in my room one day. That lasted for about three hours, until a doctor said “no, HE gets different rules. Nobody is to be put in his room.”
Yes I am Ambassador.
They gave me two mints, a bag of microwave popcorn, and two bottles of water.
The woman at the check in counter told me I looked 41 and she told told me that was around her age and she had 5 grandkids.
Great service!
I’m Staying at the Gaylord Palms this week. I feel like it would meet your standards.
For a convention? I prefer not to have to walk three miles to get to/from my room to anywhere I need to go.
Stayed in a suite in Nashville’s Gaylord for four nights last October. Went to their indoor water park and watched a mother’s bikini top get ripped off while on the surfing machine.
Stayed at the Denver Gaylord last year after a Mets game since I had a very early flight and didn’t want the 40 minute commute from downtown. Finger-banged my ex in the Dallas Gaylord’s public bathroom about 12 years ago.
Yep. A military industrial complex convention to boot. It’s not too bad. It’s really just walking through the indoor terrarium and into convention portion. The wife had a professional convention at the Gaylord opryland but booked late and it was full so we had to stay in the cum stained Hampton across the road like Herdman
I don’t know that hotel, but directly across from that Gaylord is a small, awful knockoff (not sure if affiliated for overflow crowds) of the convention hotel.
When I was there in October, it was my convention. I led it. A month prior, I flew in my senior managers to get accustomed with the convention hotel layout. The meeting planner said the Gaylord (convention) was booked for those walkthrough days, so she tried putting us across the street in the knockoff. One look, and we vetoed that. We stayed downtown and had a 25 minute commute instead.
It’s amazing how big that hotel is and how often it is fully booked considering that it has 3000 rooms. I also stayed there about a decade ago for a coaching convention, and the same thing.
