replying to @StuartMHurlbut @StuartMHurlbut @chattanoogafun They're not all that common across the US, and some of the ones I've found were outright horrible. But it's like with any other type of lodging: you win some, you lose a night's sleep with some. #InspireToWander

A3: Two different times I thought I was going to die 1) scary roadside motel with no lock on the door 2) less than desirable neighborhood in #LosAngeles where I couldn't tell between fireworks and gunshots #inspiretowander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A3: A hostel near Kensington Gardens in London … Dirty, loud, super uncomfortable beds. It was not the best two nights of sleep but hey if that’s the worst I’ve experienced, I really shouldn't complain. #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel A2. Location is important, but also has to be clean and free of bed bugs! #InspireToWander

replying to @jetsettingjoggr @jetsettingjoggr @byland_and_sea @IBBtravel It's definitely nice having the space! Every so often you can find suites that aren't too much more expensive, but it depends how much privacy you want. #InspireToWander

#inspiretowander A 3) Unintentionally staying at the pot hotel in Denver. Terrible breakfast, falling apart room, and unexplained paintballs littering the parking lot.

replying to @LilyAnchorsAway @LilyAnchorsAway @JustinLaurenXO I once got a super deal (80% discount) at a hotel when visiting Virginia Beach. Although I looked at the map I didn't know it was a two hour round trip drive. I was there for three days. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A3. Bed bugs! BED BUGS BED BUGS! Woke up with bites all over my arms and neck and it was horrible. I had to pretty much throw everything away. Plastic suitcases are the only way to go. #InspireToWander @inspiretowander

A3 #InspireToWander One that comes to mind was Charleston, WV about 20 years ago. A rundown Best Western outskirts of town in an industrial area. There was a big spider web in the corner on the ceiling. That part of the country is depressing enough without a place like that.

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @IBBtravel Yes! We love to explore cities on foot when we can, so hotel's central location is important #InspireToWander
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @LilyAnchorsAway @LilyAnchorsAway It's really awesome! Ours had a little fireplace in it if you got cold (it was pretty warm out so we actually had a fan running). Very comfortable and cozy. On a big property in the countryside so lots of fresh air. It was a great experience! #InspireToWander

A3 It was a US hostel. Two bunk beds in a large room. The three other guys had been living there for months. I couldn't see the floor because of all their crap. Playboy pinups on the walls. Two of them snored all night. Never again. #inspiretowander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A2. Location, I like always in the center of the city; the restaurants close to where I am staying; and the things that the place where I am staying have for me to make me feel comfortable. #InspireToWander

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @chattanoogafun #inspiretowander I admit I haven't stayed in many hostels. I've stayed in a few that were downright terrible, so I've always avoided them since even if they existed which they don't in many places.
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @Abfabtravels @Abfabtravels @IBBtravel Definitely. Bed bugs are a BIG no no. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO Checked in at our hotel room at the specified time, 3pm and our room wasn't ready for another 2 hours. The staff was not apologetic at all. Not my best experience at a 5star hotel #InspireToWander

@IBBtravel A4 - look in terms and conditions for any hidden fees such as parking or resort/destination fees. Be aware of cancelation policy to if you’re unsure of travel plans.

replying to @byland_and_sea @byland_and_sea I used to have this nifty device that would basically create a lock on any door and it folded down flat and fit in my bag. Come to think of it I haven't seen it in a long time now. #InspireToWander
JustinLaurenXO
replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee The snoring is definitely the worst part of all that for me. Also. the fact it was probably super gross with all their stuff in there, hadn't been cleaned for months I'm sure! #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel A3: A lot of hotels were booked where I went so I stayed at a not-so-great hotel chain. Left an empty drink packet out while I went out for a couple of hours. Came back and had ants all over the packet and the room. Even noticed them on my luggage at the airport #InspiretoWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A2: What are the three main things I look for when choosing my accommodations? Depends what I'm after, so unless I'm glamping, an ensuite bathroom is a top preference. Next is the proximity to attractions, and the price of course! #InspireToWander #travelchat
