Can those small hotels with tens of dollars a night stay? Well prepared, it should be possible.

In many corners of almost any city in China, especially the county seat, there are some small hotels scattered. These hotels have low-key signboards and simple facilities, and even if their facades are usually opened next to the main roads, they are often ignored.

What, alive? Stop joking. In the eyes of many people, it will be this kind of reaction. Indeed, it seems a matter of course to go on holiday and stay in a good hotel or homestay. In addition to being comfortable, it can also make friends envy.

If all this had happened, small hotels would not have blossomed everywhere. So there is still a market for only one reason: cheap! 40-One night in 90 yuan is more than half cheaper than chain economy hotels. Go out early and come back late, rest and sleep, why spend that money? Wouldn't it be nice to keep it for fun? After all, there are not many digits in the account balance. This is especially true for students who love to travel but have limited budgets.

So can these places survive in the end? What's the experience of living there? Laos travels around the world, and sometimes the budget is tight. He has stayed in many such hotels. Sum up your feelings in one sentence: open the blind box and take a chance. The price is similar, and the difference may be great. Usually four of the five senses are challenged.

Sleep buster, noise. The air conditioner is so old that it thunders when it is on, but it's no use if it is not on. The plane outside next door is also very noisy. The air conditioner upstairs sometimes has the sound of water droplets hanging up, and its lethality is not weak. If there is noise in the street or building, it will usually stop before midnight, unless there is mahjong next door or it is dark. There is another unexpected surprise,

Laobian used to be in a county in northern Guangdong. There was a small park in front of the hotel when I checked in. It looks quite quiet, but I didn't expect the road on the side to be the main passage for large trucks to cross the border, and it is very close to the traffic lights. I listened to the sound of brake pads rubbing and throttle starting all night.

As for how unsanitary it is, we won't elaborate. Towels, slippers and toiletries in the hotel must not be touched, so it is generally not a big problem to bring your own. Wearing long autumn clothes, long autumn pantyhose and a piece of clothing on the pillowcase has never encountered the problem of itchy skin and allergies, but mattresses are a common phenomenon. Occasionally, the hot water supply of some hotels will fall off the chain, and the water will be slow and small, and even there is no hot water in the sink.

Laobian was once in a county in northern Fujian. Although it is early winter, the room on the first floor of the hotel is damp and dark, and the windows are not closed. When I entered the room, I saw all mosquitoes. The owner of the electric mosquito swatter didn't, and the mosquito-repellent incense he gave didn't work, so he had to shoot more than 40 mosquitoes manually, and he never got upset.

Vision generally does not affect sleep, but it is entirely possible to stimulate nerves. From time to time, some residual dry liquid will be found on the quilt cover or the wall curtain. For example, in the above picture, the toilet is flushed with a manual hose, and the hidden visual effect behind it depends on your own brain to supplement it.

Some hotels have poor ventilation because of their location, orientation, indoor layout, etc. When they enter the room, they can feel the smell, but they are basically fine after staying for a long time. In fact, many of these hostels are very smooth in airflow, and they are more natural without the fragrance and freshener of high-star hotels.

Cheap is cheap. Laos only stayed in Dongshan County, Fujian Province once. Because it is the off-season, the seaview apartments in 70 yuan have a sense of grade of 200 to 300. Others are more or less flawed, but only a handful of them are really unbearable. The security problem that many people will worry about can only be said that Laos has not personally felt this threat so far.

The ultimate meaning of travel is to experience, stay in these shabby-looking small hotels for one night, talk to the shopkeeper about the most local customs and get close to a strange city. If there is an opportunity, will you bite the bullet and give it a try?
