    What type of hotels are you accustomed to?

    Four Seasons? Ritz Carlton?

    I think a room on occasion if you've been out for a long time isn't all bad.

    Do you know the type of activity that takes place in hotels???

    Like they did these test using a chemical like luminal only it lights up spunk.

    And it seems the nicer the hotel the more spunk is everywhere.

    At least the spunk in my truck is my own or the cats.

    There's a couple threads on here about bed bugs, and I don't mean the people that move furniture. You should read them.

    So my future is reveling in spoiling kids until they are over sugared, over tired, and in the possession of toys that make noises then handing them back to their parents?

    I can live with that.

    I am the friend who gives your kids tickets to Paw Patrol Live. But just enough for the kids and ONE adult. While you are enduring the show, your spouse and I will go an have a wonderful dinner where I will spill all the tea.

    I did the hotel thing for 2 yrs in the oilfield and bed bugs were the 1st thing all of us checked for Lol. No bags in the room til it passed the test.

    OP I would go sleeper even if your home daily. Nothing like popping the buttons and hitting the sack for a hour or 2 nap waiting to load/unload. Those days where you get held up 6hrs at a place your arse must get mighty sore

    Even if the company I rode for offered to pay for a hotel every night I would still opt to sleep in my sleeper. I have everything situated how I want it in my truck, it’s convenient, I can be in the bunk sleeping within a few minutes after I stop driving. Checking in and out of a hotel is a pain in the butt.

    I agree, I’m much more comfortable in my truck than a motel.
