How many consecutive nights in a different hotel?
Currently at my fifth hotel, fifth city in as many nights, which doesn't happen to me too often on business. A lot for me but surely not for most of the board. Curious to hear just how much point to point travel others really do. Makes it difficult when I can't get same day cleaning

I have done a couple two week circuits around the fabric mills of the NC/SC/VA/GA area and one exhausting one around Texas/Northern Mexico which had 5-6 nights in consecutive different hotels. Its exhausting. You end of being excited for the weekend when you get to spend 2 nights in the same place.
Those are definitely rough trips.

Several times now I've stayed at 8 hotels in the course of a 9-night trip. I don't try for 8/9, it just usually works out that there's someplace I stay two nights on such trips.

I jumped off that life about 12 years ago. My last year in that career had me at a close to 200 nights in hotels. Wake up Monday, get in the car and drive or go to the airport, come back Friday night (if I was lucky) or Saturday. Do unpack, laundry, repack, go back out on Monday.
It killed relationships, played heck on my health, and generally made me an unhappy stressed out individual. So happy that my travel now is only for fun. Every time I think I miss it, I just go on a fun trip and see how stressed everyone is around me.
If it starts to feel like a rat race, then it IS a rat race. Take care.

Or going out to the parking lot and forgetting which non-descript beige 4 door sedan is my rental car. I used to pop the trunk on the remote just to find it. Or, if the parking lot was too big, hit the panic button to find the rental car.
I remember getting in a rental car and wondering why my key wouldn't fit. It was another similar rental car at the hotel that just happened to have been unlocked. Now that is embarrassing. LOL
