Had to live in a hotel for about a month while a house I was waiting to move into was being finished up on getting built.

       I do not like the hotel life. Sometimes you do even get what you pay for. I do not like dirty pillows, blankets and carpets. You never know what you get when you check in.

we were stranded due to major flooding and could not get to our house...which would have been pointless anyway, as we later found out our house was totally flooded as well....so we had to stay several days in a hotel..no kitchen SUcks...

When I was moving, I had to live in a motel for 1 week. I hated it.. The cost, not having hot food, eating out. Yeah I hated it.

I had to early in life when we were just starting out. It was not the most ideal situation, of course not. We had to be resourceful, like getting a hot plate to cook since our money was really scarce and almost non existent. We had to do or die. I'll say one thing: it beat being homeless!

As a matter of fact I always tell my grown children, that if it really came down to it...opt for a motel on a daily bases until they can catch themselves. You can really hustle a days stay at a motel.

I had to stay in motels for awhile since I was traveling far for work.  I did not much like it when I had to stay in the cheaper dirty motels.. I only liked when the place had a nice pool that my son could swim in.

I live in hotels about 3-4 days of the week for my job.  Some hotels I like better than others.

True, it is cheaper than hotel. It is ok if you live there temporary but not permanent.

We had to stay at a motel for a week,  before we moved to our current residence, because our apartment was  not ready to move-in yet.

we did it for about 2 months when our kids were really young, luckily we didn't have to do it for long term.

I've never had to do that, but my boyfriend has to travel for work occasionally and has shared a room with a couple guys before.  I would have a hard time with that--you would never have any privacy!

We had to do the same thing. With 3 kids it was not fun.

My husband did it for a while... Has its perks- someone cleaning up after you, but you have  to eat out every day and gets very expensive!!!
