I have lived in a Marriott Hotel Suite for Over a Year. After selling my home, I did the math & found that Hotel Living is a lot less expensive than one might think. AMA

There ARE downsides...

For instance, it's not as personal. The art on the walls is the art on the walls. They bolt that stuff down so people don't take it. But it's tasteful, classy. The furniture is nice. I got extra bed stands by simply asking to use as stands at the ends of my couch.

They also gave me 2 extra floor lamps.

I don't have a vacuum, so if I spill a box of crackers, I have to call down, even at 2am, to ask someone to come clean it up. But I' don't hassle them like that.

But as far as "not my place" or the decor, it feels a little "impersonal". I brought a lot of my stuff in. I mean LITERALLY: It would take me 2-3 days MINIMUM to check out. I'd have to get moving boxes. Because I brought my playstation, framed pictures, just gadgets, my apple TV, all my clothes... I kinda switched up the furniture layout, so I have 2 desks to work at, with dual 27 inch monitors and my desktop.

I installed my own wifi router, and the IT guy set up an IP so I have my own hotspot for wifi rather than the hotel, and my all my hard wired devices are on my own firewall.

It would be a lot of work and I'd need a van to get it all out.

But I can't paint a wall. I can't change the framed artwork.

I have an electronic room safe, which is cool. lol
