Yeah I would have to agree with this. The trend over the last couple of years is to move us into nicer hotels, but we lose a lot of the benefits that really matter, like the ones above.
Personally I could care less about location. I want a good gym in the hotel, microwave, fridge in my room and a van that is on time. I however totally understand that I am just one person and my tastes and views don’t align with everyones. Some people would rather have a 30 min van ride to a better location.
Overall though I feel like the general quality of our hotels has improved.

Okay all that is nice but location still does matter eapecialy for those of us that dont pack food for each trip or cant due to the hassle of commuting. LAW for example is a particularly terrible overnight for me since theres pretty much nothing around the hotel. I want hotels that are near some food options or maybe even a grocery store. Some of my favorites are CUU, TYR, and GRK and theres something for everyone. I hate the typical hotel by the highway with a gas station and nothing else we tend to stay at.

I due agree though that we are all different and we all have different priorities, so I am not judging even if it sounds that way.

Thats absurd, you’re telling me you’d rather stay in a fleabag LaQuinta. Rather than ride the elevator down to the lobby at a nice hotel, with a good location lobby to heat up spaghetti Os?

Im sure we can all agree hotels need to have an in room fridge and microwave. Whatever i do pack or even leftovers still need it
I heard walmart has good deals on microwaves maybe we could direct these hotels on where to find some

As far as your examples go? CUU, that's in Mexico. The fridge/microwave thing is kinda a moot point when traveling through TSA. But they do have an AWESOME free breakfast and I have no problems with the van. Gym kinda sucks but the location makes up for it (I end up doing a lot of walking anyway). TYR, no problems at all. Has all I want and in a good location. GRK? I've done a lot of turns there. I don't remember if I've ever overnighted.

*hotels that seem most insistent on only having a microwave in the lobby have their own overpriced restaurant and place us as far away from the lobby as possible. Think about it. Flea bag hotel... flea bag *******s that are trying to make us pay more for our overnight is more like it. If you don't carry your own food you don't see it, I know. But it's real.

you guys are extremely short sighted and i'm glad we're moving away from "bed bugs ok, just need microwave" type places. None of us make $19k/yr anymore. Let's stay at professional hotels.
