I feel like someone my age wrote this because hotels are not around $100 anymore. Last concert i went to that was sufficiently far away to justify getting a room for the night, said room was over $200, tiny, and literally the cheapest in the building.

maybe in urban areas, but rural hotels can easily still be $90 for a cheap one.

Fucking Bob shows up. One hundo it is.
Is that the singer from Nickelback in the lower panel left corner?
No that's Bob
Please go watch Twin Peaks. It’s one of the best TV shows ever!
Seen Twin Peaks, watched it through twice over the years. Nickelback singer did not have a cameo appearance.
Must be a US thing. There are great hotels for 40€/night in many places. I went to one for 30€/night in Florence and it was marvelous. Couldn't understand a word the old lady said, but she was very helpful showing us where everything was and getting us settled into the quiet room with high ceiling and large closets. There was a pizzeria about 20 metres from the hotel that had an agreement with the hotel to give a discount for hotel guests. The coffee in the morning was free and terrific too. Only a stone's throw away was a great restaurant with a veranda where they served fantastic home-made bread and small cakes.
The worst "hotel" I was at was definitely in the US. Terrible shithole of a place we had booked ahead of time. Could've been a beggars home in Calcutta. And we had already paid, so no refunds.
Yes, our US hotel industry has mostly been monopolized by Wyndham and a few other companies. They all build large hotels with the same layout. If you try and go under that price point you get stuck with motels, which have mostly been phased out by our culture from taboo & cleanliness anecdotes. Definitely a far fetch from the experience in Europe and other places. The closest we get is Airbnb like set-ups of personal homes rented out.
