I'm sure the parties do happen, though. @Fly Girl - OK, thanks, maybe I'll have to suck it up and retreat to Hampton Inns, which I do like. @road max - Thanks for your thoughts, and if you really don't care, I gotta place in Waxahachie TX that you'll surely love. :) @Kara – Well, I was hoping for less than $100/night, but I hear you.

Stop whingeing! I've stayed in the worst 10 peso flea bags in Latin America, and I've stayed in luxury palaces in New York and Boston. And it doesn't matter. I don't even notice wallpaper, or carpets, or the closet. And what do you mean by "a laundry list of monstrosities in the bathroom?" If you're just talking about spots and stains, I wouldn't even notice that either. You'd have to be more specific, but based on what you consider important about the room I'd have to think that your definition of monstrosities would differ from mine. Before I started getting regular work I was so poor I couldn't even afford hotels. I slept in my car when I had a travel assignment, and I loved that too! Motel 6, Super 8, truck stop showers, crappy hostel, I say bring 'em on. I’ll take the bait if no one else will. Stop whingeing!
