Hostels are the best. Just give me a bed to crash and tomorrow morning I'll be off again.
I would love for the Japanese capsule hotels to become a thing here in the US. I've always hated paying $150 or whatever for a full room (or suite) during a road trip late at night when all I do is crash out on the bed and then get up and drive first thing the next morning.
Weirdly, the capsule hotels tend to be more expensive than traditional hostels, and that's for 150 dudes in a room.
I assume part of it is the novelty + influencers will pay anything for a few more clicks.
Maybe, but the couple I stayed in were mostly 30-50 year olds traveling for business.
in japan or in the US?
Japan, compared to traditional hostels in Japan, which can be quite nice. I didn't know there were capsules in the US.
I sleep in my car, often. If I drive until 2 am, and have to be back on the road around 8, I don't see the point in spending a bunch of dough.
If I was home, I'd probably be sleeping in my TV chair anyway.
I wish I could do that but I drive a roadster. Absolutely no fucking way to stretch out comfortably.
Yeah, a full stretch out doesn't really work in my van, either, but I can deal with it for a few hours. I can see where a roadster would be absolutely impossible.
At least your getting good gas mileage. You can use the savings to pay for the room.
By the way, when I do stay in a motel, I always stay in cheap places like Motel 6 and Super 8. They've renovated most of them, and while they aren't fancy, they're clean, the beds are comfortable, the shower works, and they have a TV. They usually have a fridge and microwave, but I seldom use them. You can usually find one under $75, and I recently found one for $37!
Lol I get about 16-18 mpg. 6-cylinder engines ain't fuel efficient even when they're jammed into a go-kart. For bonus points, the damned thing takes 93 octane.
And I'm bitching because my van only gets about 22.
Keep the dirty side down, and the shiny side up!
It's funny, I also own a used school bus and that gets barely worse mileage than the roadster.
Capsule offers no benefit over regular bunk beds. I've been in both but I try to avoid capsule now. You don't even save that much space, people still need to get in and out of their space anyways. But getting to your bed from the short end is just a damn hassle
But I prefer having the walls around me if I'm honest.
Last hostel I stayed at in Berlin (the one with the cool painted facade they were forced to change) the bathroom was so small I had to sit sideways on the toilet. Was still a fine room to be honest.
Hostels always got some weird ass shower and bathroom setups tbh
The hotel I stayed at in Park Slope Brooklyn for a few months was $90 per night after I worked my hotel discount magic (this was a few years ago). As a 6' long person, I nearly had to sit sideways on the toilet. I couldn't close the door because of my knees. No problem!
Not to mention a lot of them even have private rooms for pretty cheap.
