Like I mean a place that doesn't feel like a total corpo nothing flavorless anywhere monstrosity. I don't even care if it's gross or rickety I just want it to feel like a real place.

I never stayed at one before but I wanted to do something special and they are all like $200+ even on a Tuesday. Damn I just wanted a hot tub night.

I could maybe swing like $120 but nothing like that exists. Even the big corpo ones start at $160. At this point, I should just build an onsen lmao.

    I've stayed in like over a dozen for the last couple of years and even worked in one for an internship. Usually, I paid 50 to 100€/night and are always my biggest expense of going to concerts or other events/longer distance trips.

    I much prefer that than places where landlords very clearly prefer to turn apartments into AirBNBs and at the same time allow rent to baloon in the area.

      For sure. I ain't been but my impression is that hotel prices in europe are less nutty. Here, when I worked at a shelter we would sometimes put people up at a dogshit bedbug motel for $55 a night with a sympathetic manager we had a connection with. What was your experience in the 50 euro hotel?

        Fine, really - though I am not picky in the slightest.

        The prices vary a lot depending if you're in a city or rural-ish area. You will struggle to find something below 90€ in Berlin or München for example.
