A lot of people are attacking him for being classist. They're also saying, "You're only gonna sleep in the room, it doesn't need to be luxurious".
First of all, I don't think the brother was saying he has to be in a luxury hotel. Personally, I understood EXACTLY what he was saying. I don't travel with anyone but my lady for this exact reason. When I'm on vacation, I want the whole thing to be enjoyable or at least comfortable/relaxing. Taking a Spirit Airlines flight and staying at a roach motel is a huge no from me. Again, it's not about staying in some five-star joint. I usually stay at the Holiday Inn, because I'm a member. Even then, I read reviews and view pictures to see which one is the best in town. I want the place I lay my head to be comfortable.
