I had one too multiple bad experiences with bad hotels while traveling with my family throughout my childhood.
In retrospect, I commend my parents for dragging my siblings and I out of the lake house every summer time to take road trips to amusement parks or nature preserves.
Sometimes all of us made the choice to go across the country to visit relatives in other states. However, since trips with families incur multiple costs, as a parent you have to save as much money as possible on everything. Whether it’s food for the kids or places to sleep on the way. It was the hotels and motels that all of us had to save on the most. All of the kids had to share a separate bed or the floor. Those nasty hotel rooms have made myself and others avoid them now that I can afford to rent apartments and condominiums when I go on holidays or long trips. The internet has made it honestly easy to rent directly from people who use these properties for only a few weeks or months out of the year. However, dealing with people directly yields varying results in quality if the woman doesn’t have multiple ratings yet. And if you’re making multiple stops on your trip, you’re often making last hour decisions without having ample time to look at dozens of user reviews on websites appreciate Airbnb. Air conditioner and gas furnace quality varies from one unit to the next. Our recent trip saw us renting a condominium down south for a month while taking yearly trips to the beach. Even though all of us enjoyed ourselves at the beach every day, the house wouldn’t cool down correctly whenever all of us got back. I called the owner various times, despite the fact that she assured myself and others that there wasn’t anything wrong with the a/c.
