I usually stay at a nice motel a ways from downtown. The big fancy hotels are nice but yes, you pay for them. And, to have to pay for parking? That's like having to pay Delta Airlines $25 to take clean underwear and a toothbrush with you (one reason I fly Southwest. No baggage fees.) "$112 for the room and $35 for parking, Sir. That'll be a final gouge to your credit card of $147. Oh, wait, there's also tax, service charge, loan initiation fee, Police background check, and the hot water charge, the maids tip, the cooks tip, the valet parking tip. What? Didn't use it? Well that's a standard charge, sir."
"Ok, Vicky It's time. Show him your tits."
"Oh, wait, sir. I made a small miscalculation. Looks like your final bill will be $12."
I can stay in a nice motel down the road (who cares if it's 6 miles?) for $75 or so, free parking, internet, breakfast, all you want. I may even look into the AirBnB thing that Carmen mentioned. That looks nice.
Hell, maybe I'll just stay with Carmen.
