My Steemit friends, the United States in not my idea of a budget travel destination but this is my home country, and where I have many friends and family. I try to return home at least once a year if not twice for a week or two. I live kind of the opposite life of everyone else.
Instead of a two week vacation once a year, I shoot for the opposite. A fifty week vacation and two weeks home! That's just a joke, my life is no vacation, it's just a never ending adventure and learning experience of cultures and places around the world. When I am "home" it is kind of like vacation.
My father and step mother recently moved to just north of Tampa Florida. They were having their house built when I visited and it was just one week from completion; so they were living in a hotel! Travel Pro style! So I got the room next to them. My father like his son, enjoys a good deal. I don't think he could have done better all things being equal.
It's no 6 dollars a night like I had in Chiang Mai, or 12 dollars for basically the same thing where I'm at now in Guayaquil Ecuador. But it's the United States, and for $50 dollars a night, this is a good deal. Too bad his house wasn't complete, I'd be staying there for free!
The hotel was clean, secure, and even had a little kitchen. Being the US no need to mention, of course there was AC, a flat screen TV, and need I say....hot shower! I spent three nights there for $150, it was hard to feel good about that after spending $42 for an entire week in Chiang Mai Thailand just a month prior.
The Suburban is technically a good deal and I was very comfortable; and no, I did not have a little kitchenette, microwave, fridge, AC, or elevator to my room in Chiang Mai. However I do have all those things of equal quality for $12 at my place here in Guayaquil Ecuador. For anyone visiting Tampa Florida, I would highly recommend staying at the Suburban Extended Stay Hotel! Until Next Time- Dan "World Travel Pro"
