I agree. And good medium priced hotels suffer the same problems.
Although mainly because they're owned by the pricey ones. There's a
car based analogy there, but I don't have the time.

If I'm going to drive a Ferrari or Lambo, I want to stretch it out.

I once owned a 308GT4. I miss that car, but not the "fun" of synching
the carbs, since I had no ambition of paying the Ferrari dealer what
they wanted to do any work on it. But I did manage to sell it for
about 25% over what I paid for it. 18 months earlier.

Daily driver is a '08 Fit. Fun car to drive and practical, too.
Particularly if I start raising Lamas :-)
