Hotel Advantages And Disadvantages

Growing up as a soccer player with a successful team, we traveled a lot. Often times the team decided to stay at a campground compared to a hotel. However, in high school as a part of the Speech and Debate Team, I traveled to hotels a lot. Each definitely has its own benefits and disadvantages. Deciding on the nature of the event in which a person is traveling for should open up their eyes to which option to take for their best interest, either camping or a hotel. Tough girls who played in the pouring rain and mud just to kick a ball into a goal and win a game were not afraid of much of anything, including the outdoors.

For instance, a speech and debate tournament requires each student to wear a suit both days and look professional because they are representing their team and school. Having a hotel room allows students to be comfortable, clean, and relaxed because they do not have to worry about any duties like they would otherwise, which saves time in getting ready and packing up. Hotels often provide complementary breakfast and other items with the room such as an iron and ironing board which allows students to start the day off right.

When a family goes to a hotel they can be tempted to gather around a television or to interact around the pool if the hotel has one. Because hotels are so homey and comfortable, people tend to not want to get out of the room and go do activities. All in all, campgrounds present more opportunities to bond and come in tune with nature, while hotels allow for only relaxation with normal everyday
