so I'm going on this little trip with family this weekend. My dad and I are driving down from Denver and my sister and her two kids are driving up from Nevada and we're going to meet in Mesa Verde. It's only Saturday, Sunday and Monday. My dad seems to think that all five of us can stay in one hotel room if we get a rollaway bed. I'm debating if it's worth shelling out $200 (which I don't exactly have to spare) to get a hotel room for myself. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep in a room with four other people (I would probably be the one on the rollaway bed, too). Mostly it's that I get exhausted and jumpy when I'm around people for a long time, and I need some place alone and quiet....but are these needs of mine worth $200? Could I just put headphones on and deal with it?

Like it's only for two nights but I just can't decide if it's worth it...i can put it on a credit card but it's still a lot. I made a reservation already but it's cancellable up until Saturday. I'm also worried that my family will think it's weird if I get my own room. But it would also kinda be really nice....I havent stayed in a hotel for like six or seven years and even a lovely roadside motel room to myself feels sorta luxurious.

How is a lovely roadside motel $200?

I guess it's been a while since I've stayed in a hotel... I think the last one was a 5 star hotel in downtown Seattle that only cost $50 a night (hell yeah to last minute priceline deals).

Anyways, I would lose my loving mind sharing a single room with my family for multiple days. I absolutely require time to myself after even a few hours of socializing. Don't feel too guilty about the money, better to spend the $200 and actually enjoy the trip.

It's the "econo lodge" and it's $200 for two nights. It's very near a national park so that's probably why

Plus it's summer so it's prime season for them so they can charge pretty much whatever they want.

Yeah five people in a room is too much even for the most social among us. You’ll enjoy the trip so much more with your own space to retreat to. If your family thinks it’s weird, oh well, they can deal, you need to do what’s right for you.

y'all inspired me to check again just to make sure I wasn't being ripped off by booking.com but all other sites including the hotel's seem to be about the same, $100 per night. Bleh, :capitalism:

oh idk if the US booking.com does it but in the UK if you sign up for their bullshit loyalty club thing (which is free) you get 10% off your bookings

this reminded that I did stay in an econo lodge after the five star hotel

I know this because after breaking up with the girlfriend I went to seattle with I stayed in an econo lodge to get the gently caress out of our shared house

I went to it because it was the cheapest place in my city, they had a weekly rate that worked out to something like $25 a night

I hope your $100 a night econo lodge is better, mine was incredibly scary

shortly after entering my room I noticed that the door had at some point been kicked in, and all the locks were seemingly caulked back into the door

then I took a closer look and realized it was worse than that, the locks were held in place by crumpled up wet paper towels

Probably going to guess that room had been raided at some point. Also guessing that drugs were involved.

based on the neighborhood and the general vibe I feel like it's just as likely that it wasn't police who kicked in the door

despite all that it was still a way better option than staying in my house

when my girlfriend broke up with me she simultaneously announced that her terrible parents were already on a plane and would soon arrive to stay with us for a month

speaking of nipple tattoos I once saw a woman who had tattoos designed to make her areolas star shaped
