Japanese capsule (pods) hotels
Bed-sized capsules are the length and width of a single bed big enough to crawl in and sit up. They are stacked two units tall and side by side and include air-conditioning, a small tv, power outlets, and a privacy door or curtain. Toilets and showers are communal. Prices are an equivalent of $13 to $40.
Bates Bed and Breakfast
Good food if you live long enough to eat it
Park Inns
More expensive than sleeping on a bench in a park, but you have more privacy at the hotel, and when you have to use the bathroom, you'll appreciate that privacy.
Vagabond Inn
Vagabond: def. a person who wanders from place to place without a home or job.
"some tales portray him simply as a vagabond who resided in the woods"
I don't know where a homeless, jobless person is going to come up with $100 for a room.
Beachcomber Inn
Is there such a place? Maybe. I don't know. I was thinking of an actual beachcomber who stayed out too late and made a bed in the sand. That could be comfortable, I suppose. There's plenty of potential, at least.
Amtrak coach, bedrooms, and roomettes
Amtrak is slow, and if you're going any distance at all you're going to have to sleep. If you're in coach, you'll be sleeping uncomfortably in your seat. If you're wealthy, you'll get a bedroom. If you're semi-wealthy, you'll get a roomette. The good news is that you get free meals in the dining car if you're in a bedroom or roomette.
The Thomas (haunted) House Hotel
"Over its 130-plus years of existence, the hotel has witnessed a litany of tragedies, including deaths, murders, and accidents."
"Visitors and staff alike have reported everything from the classic cold spots and disembodied voices to more unsettling phenomena like moving beds and dark, shadowy figures."
The Stable
Room for one donkey, two adults and a baby, three travelers, one drummer, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Sleep Out Inn
Since our aur conditioning went out and it's not likely to be fixed soon, you can sleep on the balcony. Reduced rates in the winter.
Bare Minimum
For cheap rooms by the night. Be careful: The bedbugs bite.
Sleep Inn (Out)
Since our air conditioning went out and it's not likely to be fixed soon, you can sleep on the balcony with reduced rates.
Effendi's Oasis
Worth a camel ride.
The Blackburn Inn, Staunton, VA
For almost 150 years, it was a mental health institution, then a prison for about 25 years, and finally became a hotel in 2018.
Shady Inn
Nobody knows what goes on between these walls, but whatever it is, it's shady.
Joe's Bed and Breakfast
served simultaneously - you don't want the crumbs, don't be a pig
Rustic Inn
What you might call rundown, we call rustic.
The Crummy Place
No frills. No excuses. Whatta ya want for six bucks?
Motormouth Inn
Our walls are extra thick and soundproof for extra privacy.
The Plush House
Soft beds, deep carpets, mold in the corners, nice wall paintings.
Cambrian Hotels*
*Not to be confused with either the fine Cambria Hotels or the Cambrian Period, a geological time period from approximately 541 to 485.4 million years ago. Our hotels may be old, but not that old.
