Title: What's Your Go To Hotel?
Post by: Palumboism on March 17, 2026, 03:57:12 PM
When traveling on your own dime, what hotel do you usually stay at?

The top three for me are Best Western, La Quinta, and Comfort Inns.  I'm a member for two of them.


Reasonable prices, modern comfortable rooms, and a complimentary breakfast.

I've stayed in some crappy hotels/motels.

Today's big chain franchise hotels are good when new but after a few years they stop maintaining them and milk them.

Then they are sold to someone named Patel.

Not all of course.  Courtyard by Marriot are consistently good.

Hotels have gotten quite expensive.

Any Marriott property. The points convert to United or American Airlines. I checked and I have over 1000 nights at Marriott. This is not something to be proud of. It bought some flights for the family. It also meant being away from home for over three years. Not exactly a high water mark for a man. Probably something I’ll die regretting. Oh well…

1000 nights holy shit, I had like 30 nights a while back and thought that was a lot.

Notell Motels are where the clerk is behind a window and give you a set of sheets to use.

Any hotel in the Marriott program. just for the late checkouts nearly all the other perks that come from loyalty are retired. Typical corporate behaviour since they regulators stupidly allowed Marriott and Sheraton to merge years ago. All they have done is slowly retire all benefits.

Best hotel coffee I ever had was at a Sonesta Suites.

The coffee was great but the place sucked.

Last time I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, the shower curtain seemed too short and water got on the floor.  This hotel was in the hood and there was a black biker club there, so maybe that's part of my negative impression.
