Lodgings: Chicago vs. Southern Florida

While in Chicago I stayed at a luxurious Holiday Inn. I say “luxurious” because compared to the hotels I stayed at in Florida in July, it was exactly that. (You see, travel guides may not tell you this but the hotel rooms in Southern Florida tend to smell damp and musty. We stayed at a Travelodge and a Comfort Inn and this was true of both locations.) This is what I loved about my room in Chicago:

I had a king size bed, complete with seven pillows. I tried to make use of all seven pillows.

There were no strange smells present. The room was clean.

I had the room to myself.

I had all the privacy I needed because I was staying by myself.

Free wi-fi was available.

Did I mention I had the room to myself?
