I forgot where I saw it, but someone took a blacklight to Hilton Hampton Inn and then to a airbnb in the same area of Chicago, and the Hilton was way cleaner. Think it was on tiktok. Most Hiltons I've stayed in are spotless. Except one time in South Bend Indiana, the DoubleTree, one of the worst hotels I've ever been too.

Hey airbnb's have fine cum stains. Adequate even.

As opposed to Airbnbs which ask guests to clean their own sheets and I guess use the honor system that they actually did it.

Weirdly, the capsule hotels tend to be more expensive than traditional hostels, and that's for 150 dudes in a room.

Capsule offers no benefit over regular bunk beds. I've been in both but I try to avoid capsule now. You don't even save that much space, people still need to get in and out of their space anyways. But getting to your bed from the short end is just a damn hassle

I sleep in my car, often. If I drive until 2 am, and have to be back on the road around 8, I don't see the point in spending a bunch of dough.

If I was home, I'd probably be sleeping in my TV chair anyway.

Roaches are easy to avoid picking up. When you travel, take a "kitchen" size garbage bag with you and if you land at a place that's got roaches and it's the only available option for the night, put your travel bag into the garbage bag and hang it off of the shower stall rod.

Bedbugs is a sleep in the car option OTOH.. Yikes!

Why haven't zoning laws caught up?

Once again, Late Stage Capitalism in the root problem in all enshittification of an otherwise innocent and slightly innovative idea.

Supply and demand isn’t really a thing with housing. I understand that Spaniards are upset, but that’s why you tell your socialist government to convert everything to public housing.

Just an FYI, since privacy seems to be a big concern for you… AirBnB used to allow hosts to hide cameras inside of their rented spaces. It was explicitly allowed in their renting rules, under the premise of allowing owners to enforce rules and collect evidence in case of excessive mess/damage/theft. They banned hidden cameras in 2024, but over half of rental owners still admit to using them, and about half of all guests still report finding one inside of their rented spaces if they bother to look.

What sort of hotel are you staying at?

I just looked and the cheapest air BNB in my city is literally someone's RV for $100 a night.

In most cities I can grab a room in a nice hotel for $100 to $150 per night. Cheap hotels are more like $80 a night.

STR?

You can't truely wash porous surfaces.

You think he's leaving the citizens alone? We're all fucked.

I don't know what to tell ya. This country sucks and always has. I'm just hoping this is things getting worse before they get a lot better.

Thankfully we have the option of not visiting.
