I can deal with Wendy's as it's just food; which I could play TV games all day instead of burning my skin under the sun.
souvineers is just give aways, who cares how much is your key chain?
I am not saying you are wrong, but your concept contradicts what your doing.
To me, It's just different taste, different luxury, and different enjoyment.
Agree that it's different strokes, disagree on what you get in return.
If I'm going to Europe, in addition to the added comfort, the nicer hotels tend to be closer to the attractions. By being within walking distance, or at least a shorter distance away, I'm saving time...which on vacation I value more than money since it is a limited commodity. If I am going to Cancun, the nicer hotels tend to be away from the city center which means that I'll have an easier time to relax and unwind which was my main goal of choosing that destination. (Moon Palace for example) I don't see the value in saving $75 per night to add 45 minutes and 2 subway transfers each way to my itinerary. If I wanted to spend the majority of my time in an industrial part of the city, I'd take a vacation to Detroit instead. Give me a business class/4-star hotel in London over two coach trips in a 2-star anyday.
And I'll give you a pass this time, but NEVER speak or imply ill of Wendy's again!
