Would you rather have the most basic room in an expensive hotel or the most expensive room in a basic hotel?

Same! Basic room in a nice hotel. Whats outside of the room adds to the stay too

The basic room would have better security and better common amenities.

Expensive hotels got better service and they're usually pretty gorgeous to walk around in. The most expensive room in a basic hotel is PROBABLY gonna be nicer since you'll get a suite and hottub or whatever, but I love being a fancy dancy hotel.

Well, I'd rather have the most expensive room in a basic hotel – that way, I can experience the luxury of a five-star toilet.

Definitely the expensive room. I don't like hotel rooms without a balcony.

And I'd definitely hate staying in any hotel where I wouldn't be able to open the window.

A basic room in a basic hotel is just fine

I'm a minimalist in the truest sense

The balcony would be nice. Whichever one has the biggest tea tray.

I love the feeling of being in an expensive hotel. A basic room would be fine for me. In my travels, there have often been times when I stayed at a basic hotel because it suited my budget but I’d go have a meal at a nearby luxury hotel just to soak up the surroundings.

Basic. I've been in a $400 a night hotel and had the worst sleep of my life. Lumpy bed, lumpy pillows, hot room, noisy from the bar downstairs. I've been in one for probably less than $100 a night and had the best night of hotel sleep ever. It was basic, kinda ugly room but was a 5 minute walk from the beach with an ice cold window A/C unit, that hummed and put me to sleep. The basic also had a microwave and kitchenette. The $400 rip-off didn't even have a microwave 🙄

I'll take the expensive room in the basic hotel. That's because I'm thinking the bar prices will be more reasonable, and the people a little more friendly.

I’m not commonly impressed by hotel rooms either way, so I’d enjoy the ambiance of the more expensive hotel.

The Expensive hotel probably has better food and is cleaner. I vote for the expensive hotel

@helsbels long as it has basic creature comforts television tea maker shower i am happy for the length of time you spend in the room i think it hardly matters

The hotel that has the cleanest bedding.

Basic room, expensive hotel

I joined you. Well - not literally! 😋

If the breakfasts are the same, I'd take the nice room in the basic hotel.

I would go for expensive since I bet the breakfast, hot tub, and pool might be better. As long as there is free self-parking.

Expensive hotel. Fact is, they're usually central so I don't waste time driving too long. And the doordash selection might be better.

It's only a place where I'll sleep... I wouldn't be comfortable in the Ritz and I don't need a suite.

We were given the penthouse suite by mistake one time, and that's my real preference.

I would live like a king of a poor country, rather than a butler in a mansion.

Easy, imagine the service and features

but we booked the suite. let me talk to the mgr. please

Depends on whom I sharing the room with

Expensive room basic hotel.

As long as the bed is comfortable

Dont spend much time in room anyway

Loads using airbnb now

Yes, agree

Solid choice

Same as you

Same.

Basic Room at the nicer hotel in most situations. The exception might be if I'm living out of the hotel for an extended period, like a few weeks for work, then I might go for the nicer room in a basic place. If I'm on vacation, I'm going to want the amenities like a pool, hot tub, sauna, and such. If I'm working out of it, I'm going to want the nicer room to decompress in.

Basic

I would also lean towards basic room in fancy hotel.

I'm staying at the Chez Ford

Neither, a basic room in a basic hotel/motel is good enough for me.
