Motels are not just for couples


there are moments in your life where in you feel like so burn out and you need to be alone for a few hours just to be yourself cause home is not a suitable place for that. A month ago I was caught between two choices that I don't even know what to do. I don't know which one to choose.

On my way to and from work I always pass this motel called Hollywood, and one day just before I quit my current job I really wanted to be alone for few hours to think what should I do. I only have a week to think on my next move and I am running out of time. I decided to ask the taxi to drop me at the motel, he look at me on a weird way but I did not really care.

Compared to most motel rooms I have been I kinda like this better, though it's a bit more expensive than the others. I actually ordered a bottle of bear and I was drinking at the veranda when I got the first knock on my door, it was a bell boy asking me if I am expecting a guest and I said no just me.

then here comes another knock after another 15 minutes asking me the same question. I was still polite this time. I thought that was all but when I ordered another bear the lady on the other end of the line again ask me the same question, I said no and I asked what is wrong with you people that you need to asked me if I am expecting a guest to many times, I asked if the other people did not relay the information to her since she is the front desk and she said she know but she just want to make sure.

which makes me think that this motel could be good but good lord the workers are too nosy.  I know that in Filipino culture motorist hotel became a short time F*** place and that's the soul purpose of it. So i know that it's a bit weird that a person can just go to a motel alone without anyone with him/her. I don't plan to stay long so I choose to pull over a motel first they are cheaper and second they allow short term stay unlike hotels... the nosy workers piss me off though.

  2. I have thought about getting a hotel to relax. Sometimes I just feel like I need to be out of my home as well. However, this has remained a thought and I have not actually went through with it yet.

  4. I don't think there is anything wrong with taking a motel room for a day by yourself. I have contemplated it a couple of times when it is super hot and they have a pool!! When I was younger I used to travel around a lot and used to stay in motels by myself many times--and those people were certainly nosy! I would not stay there again!!

  7. Being able to get away is essential, if only for a few days.

  8. That is strange they were so nosy. I would not stay there again. I often like to get a little alone time but it is easy in our home. Every one works second shift except myself so I am alone all evening.

  9. There was definitely nothing wrong with taking a motel room for yourself. THe nosy workers would have annoyed me too.

  10. Wow...how awful! Why isn't it okay for someone to just want to relax? People travel alone all the time...oh well...nice room at least!
