Some people love to stay in fancy 5 star hotels. All the time during their vacation.
Some people don't really care and they stay in cheaper ones - saying a bed is a bed.

As for me I love to roll around a new country, staying in bed and breakfast hotels (cheaper the better) and to take real deal relax time staying for a few days in a great hotel.

Depending on the destination country. If you go to Bali in Indonesia, there are many cheap and comfortable hotels in the middle class

Dusit Thani seems like a nice hotel. I do not book often on Dusit Thani before because it looks like expensive. but then I tried Trivago and it shows that it actually not that expensive at all. It seems right try it.

Moi, Hannu!

I traveled Finland all over mostly driving a car, a very nice country and people are much warmer than the local climate.

Kiitos!

I normally look at the reviews rather than staying in one hotel company exclusively.

I prefer renting an apartment. Hotels are too small and crampy for my taste. And for the amount of money that you'd have to pay for a reasonably sized suite you can just rent an entire house.

I have never had a bad experience with the Western Inn and they are in just about every state. They also have AMAZING free cookies at night haha!

Right. It is always cooler to rent a villa in a resort place. 2-3 families combined would be less people on premises and more pleasant things for the same square foot.

 But usually  renting a house or an apartment -  landlords require a longer term like 2 or 3 months at least.  Deposit needed and stuff, it is hard for a few nights stay, isn't it?

You will be able to find short-term rentals in every travel hotspot in the world. You can rent entire mansions or small apartments even for a single day if you want to.

Of course it'll be more expensive than renting the same place normally for months or even years. But it's usually cheaper than a hotel, especially if you choose to split the bill. Definitely a better option than going to some shabby hostel if you're travelling in groups. Unless you're into meeting strangers.

Sounds reasonable Nation wide. Thanks,

I got your point BTCMILLIONAIRE. I just started  to like your idea more. Sounds cool really. I just didn't look at this from this prospect.

And meeting whoever - yes, I'm into it when travelling, especially meeting with cool local people.

You usually don't meet locals in a hostel though, just other travelers. When I was in Japan I usually stayed in places where only locals went though, so I totally get your sentiment on this.

And it's funny when they don't speak English and want to communicate. Many cool encounters happen

[BTCMILLIONAIRE]

I actually spoke enough Japanese for that to not be a problem. But most of the other exchange students complained that it was difficult to make native Japanese friends, which I found funny. Because the Japanese kept approaching me themselves. Ended up hanging out with a lot of them on an almost daily basis, so that was quite a lot of fun.

I had huge problems in France though. They speak way too fast and my French was shit back then. Even worse now.

It's cool you're fluent in Japanese. I am ok with German, complete zero in Japanese, and  French I know only a few basic phrases, but when talking to French guys, they asked me where did I learn to talk French, most likely were flattering.

The same story when you go to a country their language I don't know. And not too eager to catch. For example in South-East Asia. I'm in Bangkok and it's a few hours ride to Cambodia or Vietman or Burma. In a few hours I can grab their hello-thanks-buy. But the people I really need usually ok with English.

When I travel, I love to stay in cheap Hotels, the cheaper the better. But the food has to be top notch!

Ah yeah, when I was in Thailand and China it was impossible for me to communicate when they didn't speak English, which they often didn't in China. Quite the adventure...

I wish I had enough time to learn more languages, but there are too many other interesting things to do. And soon we'll all have a Babbelfish anyways.

Right. And an option like McDonalds or Subway should be available too when you're fed up with local delicacies!
Even in a regular KFC they will put so much of local fler (like chilly peppers) - like you would never would tell.
